HAMPTON, Va. — Evolution, some say, is the key to survival, but putting that theory into practice is not as easy as it seems.
As president/CEO of Langley Federal Credit Union, Jean Yokum is in a unique position having seen the changes the credit union has undergone during her 54-year tenure–the last 28 years at the helm–and being among the masterminds to effect those changes.
Yokum literally rose up the ranks starting out as a teller at what was then the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory Federal Credit Union in 1953 to become the president/CEO in 1979. During her tenure, she was instrumental in taking the CU, originally charted in 1936 to serve the military, from three branches and $76 million in assets to 14 branches and more than $1.1 billion in assets. Langley now serves more than 143,000 members.
