Volunteer Leadership

Our YMCA is governed by a Board of Directors, a group of volunteers who devote their time and talents to ensure that we meet our mission.

NOTICE: Each year, we ask all Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA members to review our proposed Board of Directors and Proposed Trustees for the coming year, which begins in September.

If you would like to vote on the proposal, all members are invited to attend our annual meeting, which will be held virtually. The meeting will be conducted via Zoom on Monday, July 27 at 6:30pm.

You can register in advance for this meeting here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
