A MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR
NEW CHAPTER OF LEADERSHIP AT THE YMCA
It is my privilege to share exciting news about the future of our YMCA. The Board of Directors is proud to announce the appointment of Brian McLaughlin as the new President and CEO of the YMCA of Memphis & the Mid-South.
Brian is no stranger to our YMCA. For the past 11 years, he has been part of our Y team and most recently served as the Chief Operating Officer. With 27 years of YMCA leadership experience, Brian brings not only expertise but also a deep love for the mission of the Y. He now steps into this role following the retirement of Jerry Martin, who faithfully served the YMCA for an incredible 44 years.
Brian has already played such a big part in the growth and success of our Y. His leadership has helped us expand our reach so that we can meet the needs of even more children, families, and communities. As a Board, we are confident that Brian’s vision, strategic thinking, and heart for people make him the perfect leader to carry us into the future.
And the future is bright! In the months ahead, we are preparing for exciting projects: new wellness and aquatics centers in Hernando, MS and Lakeland, TN, and a new Early Learning Center in Stanton, TN in partnership with Ford Motor Company and BlueOval SK.
Instead of sharing a traditional headshot of Brian, I wanted you to see him at work—serving alongside others and leading with humility. That’s the kind of leader he is, and I am so grateful that he will be guiding our YMCA forward.
