2010 Yohler Scholarship
William H. (Bill) Yohler Scholarship
As a member of the Credit Union family, you are probably well aware of the important role of credit union volunteers. This scholarship was created in memory of WGE’s longest serving volunteer, Mr. William H. (Bill) Yohler.
Mr. Yohler began his credit union volunteerism in 1944 when he was asked to serve on the credit committee for Warner Gear Credit Union (now WGE). In 1948, he was elected to the Board of Directors and remained active as Treasurer and Director until he passed away September 15, 2001.
Bill had also been a Director for the Indiana Credit Union league since 1959, as well as serving on the national level as a CUNA National Director for more than 30 years.
In addition to his tireless effort and volunteer contributions to the credit union movement, he was active in various civic and social organizations.
To honor Bill’s dedication to others, we will present an annual renewable scholarship of $4,000 to one recipient.
