Pat Yokley to Retire as CAO of CommunityAmerica Credit Union
Executive caps long career built on serving members and the community
Lenexa, KS (03/22/2010) -- After 42 years of valued service in the credit union industry, CommunityAmerica Credit Union announces that Chief Administrative Officer, Pat Yokley, will retire at the end of March.
"Pat has made a significant impact not only on CommunityAmerica, but on the credit union industry as a whole," said Dennis Pierce, chief executive officer of CommunityAmerica. "Although I'm excited to see Pat enter this next chapter in his life, his skills as a visionary leader, committed member advocate and dedicated team member and volunteer will be greatly missed by the credit union family."
Yokley, 63, will complete his day-to-day responsibilities on March 31, but will continue enhancing the credit union's government relations strategy by maintaining and building relationships with both federal and state legislators. He and his wife, Jeanne, are looking forward to spending more time with their family and their grandchildren.
Yokley began his career as a credit union professional in 1967, serving as the Vice President of the Kansas City Teachers Credit Union. He then held the position of President of Panhandle Employees Credit Union, from the mid-1970's through the 1980's.
In 1991, Yokley became the President/CEO of Midwest United Credit Union and grew the credit union from $29 million in assets serving approximately 6,800 members to $165 million in assets serving 31,000 members prior to its merger with CommunityAmerica in November 2007.
Throughout his career, Yokley has volunteered in many capacities, having held the office of Chairman for both the Missouri Credit Union Association and the Missouri Corporate Credit Union. And, during the late 1980s, Yokley served as a vice chairman for the Credit Union National Association. When the Missouri Credit Union Commission was established in 1999, Yokley was appointed as a commissioner by Governor Mel Carnahan and acted as the commission chairman until 2005. He also served on the owner's advisory council for CUNA Mutual Insurance Society.
As a member of the Blue Springs community, he has been active with the Blue Springs Rotary Club and serves on the Board of Directors for the Blue Springs Country Club.
