PGA REACH Colorado Welcomes New Trustee!

Larkspur Colorado - September 15, 2023 - PGA REACH Colorado is thrilled to introduce a new trustee to the Foundation Board, Mr. Michael (Mike) Wamsganz! Michael earned his B.S. in Business Management and Marketing from Southeast Missouri State University and was eventually selected to the prestigious Pacific Coast Banking School, in partnership with the Foster School of Business at the University of Washington. That mid-western background created a foundation of strong work ethic, the desire to continue learning and sharing these learnings via collaboration with teams to create a positive culture. His banking journey spans 33 years with an extensive background in the Commercial, Small Business, Consumer, Credit and Risk Management banking segments. Michael has held various leadership positions previously at Huntington National Bank, Bank of the West, U.S. Bank, and Citibank.

In March of 2021, Michael was approved by the Board of Directors and became the President and CEO at Citywide Banks, a Division of HTLF. His learnings over the years are blended with empathy for both his colleagues and customers and that is core to the Board nomination and selection of his President and CEO role at Citywide Banks. Michael is highly involved in the community, as he serves on the Board of Colorado Chamber of Commerce, Colorado Banker Association, Downtown Denver Partnership, and University of Colorado Customer Experience Advisory Board.



In this new role as a Trustee, the opportunity to support the PGA Reach mission, “Positively Impact Lives Through the Game of Golf” makes his heart happy and puts a smile on his face. As Michael states, “The opportunity to help individuals withinthe three founding pillars is an honor and supports my desire to help make our communities stronger one person at a time and to do this via the game of golf is a dream opportunity!”
