Park Cities YMCA Executive Director Survey

Hiring our new executive director, is a very important task.   As I mentioned in our last board meeting, we have a search committee in place and I would like to ask that all board members participate in this survey.

This survey feedback will help guide us in the resume selection and candidate vetting process on the skills that we need the most.

Thank you for your time in advance.
