We have exciting news from the beautiful Berkshires! We have completed our search for the Director of Philanthropy and are excited to welcome Katie Messick to the Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA year-round team.
Katie’s connection to BCCYMCA began in the 1990s as a camper, participating in ICEP and Reach, and she returned several years later to lead three Travel and Service trips. These experiences sparked a lifelong commitment to service, including joining the Peace Corps in Paraguay. Katie brings over twenty years of non-profit experience in fundraising at mission driven organizations in the US and abroad.
Katie lives in Connecticut with her husband and two sons, and will be working remotely, while also traveling regularly to camp and also to connect with alumni and families. She will officially begin her role on June 28.
Please join us in giving Katie a warm welcome!
