That’s who came together with leadership to create 170 years of being there for our community. But the Sustainability Task Force, led by Linda it is also 170 years of transformation—as our Knox and Sheryl McQuade. Their charge was to communities have changed, so have we. Now that gather the data that would lay the groundwork we have arrived at 2020, we must ask ourselves, for our strategic plan, addressing innovative “What does it take to move an organization programming, cause-driven talent, technology, like the Y confidently into a new decade?” To philanthropic culture, financial stability, and answer this, we must first reflect on where our strategic partnerships. Today, under the organization has been.

En solo dos años, la YMCA de Greater Hartford celebrará su 170 aniversario. Son 170 años de estar apoyando a nuestra comunidad. Pero también son 170 años de transformación, ya que nuestras comunidades han cambiado, y nosotros también. Ahora que hemos llegado al 2020, debemos preguntarnos: “¿Qué se necesita para llevar una organización como la Y confiadamente hacia una nueva década?”. Para responder a esto, primero debemos reflexionar sobre dónde ha estado nuestra organización. La década pasada estuvo llena de esfuerzos significativos y estratégicos que nos permitieron expandir nuestro impacto y alcance a través de la región de Greater Hartford. A lo largo de este informe, conocerán a nuestros inquebrantables voluntarios, donantes y personal, y cómo se han unido para construir una base sólida para nuestro futuro.
