Elected to North American YMCA Development Organization Board
Nick Zimmer
Nick Zimmer, Executive Director of the Montgomery County Family
YMCA, has been elected to serve on a three-year Board of Director's term to the
North American YMCA Development Organization. The NAYDO mission is to
"strengthen the YMCA financial development and support the integration of
philanthropy into all aspects of YMCA work in North America.” The NAYDO
membership statement is, ”Members of NAYDO represent a collective body of YMCA
professionals and associations who are committed to the advancement of
philanthropy through the organization's mission, on going principles and proven
practices.”
Zimmer has been the Executive Director of the Montgomery County
Family YMCA for 13 of his 21 years of professional service to the YMCA. Zimmer
has been a part of a $6.6 million dollar capital campaign effort with dedicated
volunteers and staff to build a full-facility YMCA for Montgomery County and
southwest Iowa. The Montgomery County Family YMCA association has an annual
general operational budget of $550,000.
The Montgomery County Family YMCA also manages, with elected
endowment trustees, a one million dollar endowment program. The earned income
from this program is used to help operate the YMCA and to continue to offer a
variety of services to members and guests of the YMCA. The endowment program is
a great program for YMCA supporters who want to create a promising today and a
brighter tomorrow for children, families, and the community/area. Zimmer works
closely with dedicated volunteers with the YMCA's "Membership for
Everyone" campaign, which is designed for children, adults, and
families who wish to belong to the YMCA or participate in YMCA programs,
but are experiencing financial limitations. The 2008 campaign goal has been set
for $ 34,000 for the "Membership for Everyone" campaign.
Zimmer will be representing small association YMCAs on the NAYDO
board of directors and with boards of directors throughout the United States
and Canada.
