The Southpointe CEO Association selected Pat McCune, Community Bank president and chief executive officer,
as its annual World Class CEO. He will be honored June 18 at a dinner beginning at 7 p.m. at the Hilton Garden
Inn, Southpointe.
Barron P. McCune Jr. was born in Washington, bred in East Washington and now lives on a Washington
County farm with his wife, Ann, and sons Sam and Joe. He has been a scholar, attorney, adviser, banking
executive, public servant and energy maven.
He also was a “Dookie,” graduating magna cum laude from Duke University with a bachelor’s in economics.
McCune also earned a law degree from Denver University and a master’s from Georgetown University’s ABA
Stonier Graduate School of Banking, with which he served for several years as a Capstone Advisor.
McCune established ties to Community Bank in the late 1980s, when he became legal counsel to the
Carmichaels-based institution. He joined the bank’s board in 1992, left the legal profession seven years later to
become Community’s president, then in 2005, was named president, CEO and vice chairman of the bank and
its parent, CB Financial Services Inc.
In 2014, McCune was a major force behind the merger of CB Financial with FedFirst Financial Corp., the
Monessen-based holding company for First Federal Savings Bank. It was a $54.5 million transaction of cash
and stocks, with CB ending up with $850 million in total assets.
Community Bank has 17 branches in five Southwestern Pennsylvania counties. There are seven in Washington
(Claysville, Monongahela, Peters Township, Southpointe, Washington, Washington Business Center,
Washington Mall); five in Greene (Carmichaels, Greene Plaza, Greensboro, Pioneer (Rogersville),
Waynesburg); two in Fayette (Perryopolis, Uniontown); two in Westmoreland (Monessen, Rostraver); and one
in Allegheny (Brookline section of Pittsburgh).
McCune, also a recent director of the Pennsylvania Association of Community Banks, has a significant presence
outside of banking as well. He had leadership positions with Washington Hospital, Washington County Council
on Economic Development, Washington County Community Foundation and the Meadowcroft Foundation; is
the immediate past chairman of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce; was chairman and a longtime
board member of the Southpointe CEO Association; and was chairman of the United Way Campaign and the
Heart Association Ball.
This man with, appropriately, a high level of energy originated the Tri-County Oil & Gas Expos and formed the
Washington County Energy Partners, of which he is co-chairman. McCune is president of the Tri-County
Energy Development Alliance and helped to launch the “Washington County – Energy Capital of the East”
campaign.
