We are fortunate to have a great staff that excel in the positions they are in. I’m looking forward to working with the new executive committee to see how we can continue the great work the YMCA is doing for Dubois, Spencer, and Perry Counties.”

I look forward to the challenge of guiding the Tri- County YMCA as we continue to improve our services to the residents of Dubois, Perry and Spencer counties. Finding additional ways to meet the needs of our communities will be a priority during my term as president.”
