Sheri is an accomplished Executive Director with over 30 years of experience in leadership roles at the YMCA. She has a deep understanding of the complexity of community-based services and is committed to building and maintaining a reputation based on integrity, commitment, and compassion. Sheri believes that achieving this reputation requires rigorous discipline in research, analysis, strategic planning, and the day-to-day execution of workplans that make the vision a reality.
