CommunityAmerica Credit Union announced that after 42 years in the credit union industry, Chief Administrative Officer Pat Yokley is retiring.

"Pat has made a significant impact not only on CommunityAmerica, but on the credit union industry as a whole," said Dennis Pierce, CEO of the $1.8 billion Lenexa, Kan.-based credit union. "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."

Yokley began his career in credit unions at age 20, when a friend, Gene Dysart, told him about credit unions and asked if he wanted to work for one. Interested, Yokley took the position of vice president of the Kansas City Teachers Credit Union. After working there for 10 years and learning from Dysart, in 1976, Yokley became president of Panhandle Employees Credit Union and served there for 13 years. He later became president of Midwest United Credit Union and served there until its merger with CommunityAmerica in November 2007.
