Board members serve as ambassadors for their branch, engaging in meaningful dialogue and offering insights that strengthen the YMCA’s ability to serve and impact the community. In addition, they play a vital role in identifying resources, fostering community connections, and leveraging their networks to support the Y’s growth and long-term sustainability.
