Executive Director/CEO

The Executive Director is responsible for the development, implementation and articulation of the mission, vision and goals of the YMCA. This involves building and managing a staff team, while creating a culture that supports and retains outstanding staff and an active, diverse volunteer board of directors and its respective committees. The Executive Director is expected to be visible out in the community and active in the development of meaningful community collaborations with other community organizations, and public sector entities. The Executive Director should continue to position the YMCA to be viewed in the community as a highly respected, charitable partner that has a strong stake in solving community issues. The Executive Director is responsible for all areas of strategic planning, operating performance, budget development, fundraising, organizational development, program development, marketing and the overall image of the YMCA. Critical to the YMCA’s success, the Executive Director must be hands on in maintaining, and developing/implementing programs that serve the unique needs of the university community.
