It's a new beginning for me today as I start my new role as President and CEO of @YMCAGTA & President of @YMCAOntario. I'm excited to enter this new phase of my career at the Y as we continue to help people reach their potential. Let's shine!
#ShineOn
As I move on, I'm leaving the Y in the capable hands of @YMCALesley, the charity’s first woman President & CEO. I'm excited to see her take the Y closer to its vision of vibrant communities where everyone can shine. I'll be cheering from the sidelines.
