A Message from the Executive Director and CEO
Since 1928, the YMCA has been the preeminent
recreational and fitness facility in Ross County.
Over the generations, the organization has evolved
to meet the changing needs of the community while
retaining its position of strength, significance and
visibility. This positioning culminated in the early
1990's, as the YMCA expanded its facility to improve fitness and athletic offerings, highlighting
exercise and indoor sports.
nately, that assumption may not be correct.
Through the following 25 years, the YMCA lost
market share in a number of its core program areas
(preschool, latchkey, youth sports, fitness) through
increased competition from for-profit, churchbased and school-based groups. In spite of the increased market pressure, the YMCA managed to
maintain sufficient resources to sustain operational
size and retire capital debt. Remaining the largest
fitness-based membership organization in the community, the YMCA enjoyed adequate resources to
continue mission-based programs and meet the
basic criteria for sustainability.
Meaningful, lasting solutions to our beloved organization's plight will require vision, passion and investment. Near-term solutions revolve around survival, limiting impact on the organization's core
functions and creating a strategic plan for the coming decade. Those of us entrusted with sustaining
the YMCA's mission in Ross County must passionately advocate and champion the cause throughout
the community.
2015 represented not merely a new, more difficult
challenge, but also represented the culmination of
decades of delayed responses to market evolution
and facility aging. In 2015, our YMCA lost 23% of
our memberships in six short months through increased competition. Coupled with no meaningful
adaptation to programs such as summer camp, preschool, latchkey or youth sports over the past several decades, we face market share erosion, fledgling programs and missed opportunities.
These lapses, with the introduction of two national
brand, chain fitness centers, the YMCA was illprepared to compete in the current environment.
Progress over the past two years, focused on relationship building, revitalizing the facility, and creating the infrastructure for future growth were rooted in the assumption that market forces would reflect the history of the past eight decades. Unfortu-
Current market forces do not just threaten erosion
to the YMCA, they threaten the viability of the
YMCA movement in Ross County. This threat did
not arrive overnight, but rather has manifest at the
confluence of two primary factors: long-term lack
of organizational change intersected with typical
national franchise pressures on small, locally operated businesses.
The YMCA is a beautifully designed and intentioned
organization. Providing facilities and programs to
meet the spiritual, emotional, physical and recreational needs of our children, our families and our
community for over three-quarters of a century, the
YMCA has left an indelible mark on the lives of
thousands. This community is full of past members,
board members, volunteers and donors to reengage and reconnect. Our charge is clear. We must
ignite the fire of passion in our community that
made this organization possible in the beginning,
and envision the preferred future for our cause.

MY Y STORY
Sonya McQuirt
Sonya McQuirt’s story is one that words won’t do justice. Sonya’s energy and passion
exudes when you chat with her, especially her desire to participate in typical family activities with her children. “My goal is a little different. My motivation comes from wanting
to ride roller coasters with my boys. We went to Kings Island, and I wasn’t able to. My
goal is to lose the weight I need to ride with them.”
Sonya’s sons are 10 and 11, and she’s already involved them in activities at the Y. “I
bring the kids to swim and play basketball.” She also shares great progress on her goals.
“I’ve already lost 30 pounds and I’m already keeping up with the kids better. I feel fit and
healthy.”
