Here in Orlando, Kevin works collaboratively with local and regional investors to deepen the YMCA’s presence in the communities it serves. As he stated, “When we work with and through our partners, the good work of the Y can be multiplied exponentially.” He is active regionally and nationally with the YMCA of the USA, serving most recently on the National Board of Directors.
