\u201cThe YMCA shaped who I am\u2014as a leader and as a person,\u201d said Fix. \u201cReturning to the GLOW Y feels like coming home. I look forward to collaborating with staff, the board, and our partners to lead with purpose, grow our reach, and serve every corner of our four-county region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dean Bellack, Chair of the GLOW YMCA Board of Directors, praised Fix\u2019s appointment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were looking for a leader with vision, heart, and a deep understanding of our communities. Erik brings those qualities and more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jocelyn Sikorski, Chair of the CEO Search Committee, added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his first day of interviews, Erik stood out as someone with the leadership mindset, YMCA knowledge, and local commitment to build on our momentum and take the Y to new heights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As CEO, Fix will begin his tenure by conducting listening sessions across the GLOW region, engaging directly with staff, board members, and community stakeholders.
