After a year of challenges, financially and otherwise for YMCA Moose Jaw, the Board of Directors has announced the resignation of Jeff Fox as its Chief Executive Officer, effective Feb. 27.
The Board says it thanks Fox for his contribution to the organization and wishes him well.
Meanwhile, the Board also announced that Darryl McKenzie, Interim Chief Executive Officer since Jan. 2, 2019, will conclude his assignment on March 1, at which time Angie Publicover will assume the role of Acting CEO.
“The Board thanks Darryl McKenzie for his seasoned leadership, wise counsel, and commitment to our organization over the past two months. We also thank Angie Publicover for once again accepting acting CEO responsibility after so ably performing that role in the final months of 2018,” the Board said in a statement.
“The Board also extends our appreciation to YMCA Canada for their sustained consulting expertise and guidance. As reported at our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Oct. 25, 2018, the YMCA of Moose Jaw has experienced financial and organizational challenges over the past several years. Accordingly, the Board of Directors tasked Interim CEO Darryl McKenzie with conducting a thorough analysis of current operations, with a focus on the organization’s long-term viability.”
“This analysis is now complete, and a report has been submitted to the Board of Directors. In the weeks ahead, the Board will review this report, with the objective of determining how the YMCA of Moose Jaw may continue to serve our community. Once we have fully considered organizational options and their implications, we will share our plans with our members and the community. We expect to provide an additional update by the end of March,” the YMCA Board added.
“We understand that the events of the past year have been challenging, and we thank our members, volunteers, staff and our community for your understanding and continued support for the YMCA of Moose Jaw.”
The YMCA of Moose Jaw will maintain services and regular hours of operation at all locations.
