Roger Coleman has been appointed to the role of Chief Executive Officer for Hawke's Bay YMCA.
"This is great news for the YMCA and all the families we serve across the Bay. Roger has some amazing skills, experience and local knowledge to bring to the role based on his previous leadership positions at Sport Hawke's Bay, Pettigrew Green Arena and Hawke's Bay Opera House," said YMCA Board President, Rosie Marriott.
The YMCA has been providing services in Hawke's Bay for more than 125 years. There are not many families who have failed to benefit from their early childhood education, before and after school care, holiday programmes, youth programmes, volunteering opportunities or adult learning courses.
The YMCA is a registered charity affiliated to the international movement of the same name.
The Hawke's Bay Board have just launched a new three year strategic plan and are investing significantly in local infrastructure to enable them to continue developing and empowering the next generation across the Bay.
