PROGRAM: CAMI BISCH, YMCA
Cami is the new Director of the Hanover YMCA replacing Liam. She came to us from the St Louis, Mo. YMCA system.
Cami spoke of 2020/21 as the "Year of the Mask". She described all of the precautions the Y put in place to keep staff and members safe. They continued several activities when they could like Blood Drives, virtual classes, summer camps in pods, and opening the outdoor pool. They were able to manage their 5.5 million $ budget throughout the year using cash reserves, controlling expenses, and generating revenue. Members are returning to use the Y. They are serving about 70% of the members out of a total of 17 - 19,000 people.
Cami spoke about insuring the future of the Y:
- operational health
- build relationships
- establish and/or expand community relationships - with YWCA, RFP's - Integrative Care Partnerships, Littlestown Borough
- Get members back
- meet Community needs
- maintain fiscal responsibility
