Local YMCA Looking for New Leader

Aug. 9, 2014

The Grand Traverse Bay YMCA is looking for a new leader. The board of directors has announced a "new direction" in leadership and says a search for a new executive director will begin immediately.

CEO Tom Van Deinse has led the organization since 1999. A capital campaign and subsequent construction of the first phase of the new YMCA on West Silver Lake Road has defined his tenure – a project whose fundraising efforts were significantly slowed by the economic recession and recently has been plagued by weather and construction delays. The new facility is now expected to open within the next 30 days, according to a statement by Board President Lynn Schultz.

The Michigan YMCA USA Resource Director will consult with the local board and interim operational and financial management is already in place.
