Schedule Change: Join the staff and Board of Directors for a reception welcoming the Clark Memorial YMCA's new Executive Director/CEO on Saturday, January 23, 2010, from 11:00 - 1:00 PM at the Clark YMCA.
December 21. 2009
The Board of Directors of the Wendell P. Clark Memorial YMCA ratified the selection of the new Executive Director/CEO at
their recent December Board Meeting. The Board is pleased to announce Michael O. Quinn as their chosen candidate.
After an extensive national search, the local search committee found their candidate close to home, choosing the Clark Memorial
YMCA's own interim executive director to fill the position. The Board of Director's goal was to find just the right person to
take charge of the Clark Memorial YMCA and move this community-based organization forward with a focus on our local community.
With assistance from the national YMCA organization, the search process was very thorough and detailed, ensuring that the Board
of Directors would have confidence in their decision.
 Mike Quinn brings the qualities one would expect from a YMCA Executive Director. He is dedicated, hard-working, mission-oriented
and brings experience and perspective to the position. He has an extensive background working within the YMCA organization.
Mike joined the staff at the Clark Memorial YMCA in May 2008 as the Associate Executive Director, after serving the Montachusett
YMCA for over 16 years. Mike gained his professional experience as a childcare and camp director, while obtaining his YMCA senior
director certification. His background in childcare allowed him to assist the Clark Memorial YMCA in getting the before and after
school childcare program off the ground and running strong in its second year. In addition to the childcare program, Mike has done
an excellent job looking for areas of improvement within the organization and fostering an environment for staff development.
When the Executive Director position became vacant during the summer, Mike took on the challenging role of serving as the Interim
Executive Director. He was able to maintain the position for the past 5 months while the search process was conducted. During that
time, Mike successfully led the staff and internal operations while the Clark Memorial YMCA continued serving the community.
Mike has demonstrated the leadership qualities that the Clark Memorial YMCA organization is seeking. He has become known to
the community and is dedicated to the ongoing mission of the Wendell P. Clark Memorial YMCA. The trustees, board and staff are
very enthusiastic about Mike Quinn's appointment.
Join the staff and Board of Director’s for a reception welcoming the Clark Memorial YMCA's new Executive Director/CEO on
Saturday, January 23, 2010, from 4:00 - 6:00 PM at the Clark YMCA. Snow date: January 24, 2010.
