I am also extremely humbled to be offered the opportunity to lead an organization that I am so passionate about in a community that neighbors my hometown. My wife and I are both from neighboring communities and we have three daughters ages 14, 13, and 10 years of age who have grown up as a part of the YMCA. It is truly a blessing, personally for my family and I, and for me professionally. I began my YMCA career over 17 years ago being hired as the Fitness Director at the Greensburg YMCA. I quickly became enchanted with the “Y” and the work that we do in the community on a daily basis. I progressed in my career at Greensburg over the next 8 years moving into the positions of Physical Director, then to Senior Program Director, and then to the Associate Executive Director role. I was extremely fortunate to be able to continue to advance in my career but I was ready for the next step. In the spring of 2004, I accepted an Executive Director position with the YMCA of Greater Erie at the Eastside Family Branch. This YMCA is a 76,000 square foot full facility Y with a large staff, large member base and a $2.8 million dollar budget. I was blessed to have had a very successful 3 year stay in Erie. We were able to increase operational efficiencies, generated large membership growth, and greatly expanded program offerings. During my time there, we were also able to develop a collaboration with Hamot Hospital which culminated in the expansion of the facility with Hamot Physical Therapy space being part of our overall project. This project very much mirrors the expansion that the Ligonier Valley YMCA is poised to embark on. After opening the expansion in Erie in the spring of 2007, I was offered the Executive Director position at the East Suburban Family YMCA which is part of the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh. I accepted because it was an opportunity to move my family back closer to home and East Suburban was attempting to raise capital dollars and embark on an $11 million dollar expansion project. After 5 years of positioning the YMCA for the expansion, helping to build the team, and raising the capital dollars, we were able to break ground in October of 2012. We were also able to open a satellite YMCA in Delmont which fell under my supervision as a part of the East Suburban Branch. This enabled us to serve more people within our designated service area. The two expansion projects, along with our everyday work, was extremely gratifying because we were able to serve more people and meet more of our community’s needs. Our work in the YMCA should always focus on our members and the communities that we serve each and every day. I have been privileged to have worked with and learned from many outstanding YMCA professionals during my career. I have been so blessed thus far in my YMCA career and I look at this new position as the pinnacle. My career goal has always been to be the CEO of a YMCA but it is truly a dream come true to attain this in the community and area that I love. I am excited to begin and continue to build on the past success of the Ligonier Valley YMCA. I know that we have a strong staff, a passionate Board, generous donors, and wonderful communities that we serve and I feel so fortunate to be a part of it. I look forward to meeting everyone soon as we continue to move the Ligonier Valley YMCA into the future. A R E A O F F O C U S Thank you, Larry M. Stormer Chief Exectuive Director AREAS OF FOCUS A cause-driven organization, the Y sets goals based on three areas of focus: youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. We focus on these areas as a pathway toward a strong community — achieved when we invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors. YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: Nurturing the potential of every child and teen We believe that all kids deserve an opportunity to discover their potential. That’s why our organization offers programs and activities that cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and increased educational achievement. HEALTHY LIVING: Improving health and well-being Improving the nation’s health and well-being. In communities across the nation, the Y is a leading voice on health and well-being. With a mission centered on balance, the Y brings families closer together, encourages good health, and fosters connections through fitness, sports, and shared interests. Millions of youth, adults, and families receive the support and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for their spirit, mind, and body. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: Giving back and providing support to our neighbors The Y listens and responds to our communities’ most critical social needs...and has done so for 160 years. Whether developing skills or competencies through education and training, welcoming and connecting diverse populations through global services, or preventing disease and building healthier communities through collaborations with policy makers, the Y fosters the care and respect all people need and deserve. Within our organization, 500,000 volunteers and thousands of donors, leaders, and partners across the country empower millions of people in the U.S. and around the world toward greater health, confidence, and community connection. 2 I N F O R M A T I O N MEMBERSHIP/PARTICIPANT INFORMATION OPEN DOOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The Ligonier Valley YMCA commits to serving all within our community.
