YMCA New CEO Message To Members

“I am incredibly grateful for the warm welcome my family and I have received as I step into the role of President and CEO of the YMCA of the Inland Northwest. From the moment we arrived, it has been clear that this Y has been built by a community that truly cares for one another.

Emilie, our three boys—KJ, Finn, and Nolan—and even our energetic red heeler, Luchie, are excited to call the Inland Northwest home. We look forward to getting to know you, hearing your stories, and experiencing firsthand the impact the YMCA has on so many lives.

As we step into spring, I’m eager to continue building on the strong foundation already in place. Whether it’s through youth programs, health and wellness initiatives, or community outreach, the Y is here to serve, and I am honored to be a part of it.

One of the things that excites me most about this opportunity is your commitment to strengthening our community through building a strong YMCA with meaningful partnerships. By working together with local organizations, businesses, and supporters, we can expand our reach, enhance our programs, and ensure that everyone—regardless of age, income, or background—has the opportunity to thrive. The Y’s organizational capacity creates lasting impact, and I look forward to exploring new ways to grow and serve our community together.

I look forward to seeing you at the Y, whether in a class, at a program, or just sharing a conversation in the lobby. Please don’t hesitate to introduce yourself—I’m excited to meet each of you and work together to make your Y even stronger.

Thank you for welcoming my family and me into this incredible community!”
