March is Women's History Month. At the Y, we're honoring women leaders past, present, and future.
Although their role is not well documented, women have been part of the Y movement for more than a century, and we’re digging deeper into their impact as we celebrate National Women’s History Month. Today, the Y is so much more than its historical name suggests — the Y serves all ages, genders, religions and backgrounds.
In 2019, the YMCA of Greater Seattle announced the historic appointment of Loria Yeadon to becoming the first women and first person of color to serve as CEO in the 143-year history of the YMCA of Greater Seattle. Since then she has been a trailblazer, steadfast in her commitment to serving our mission and leading us on our continued path towards Equity & Justice for all.
Our focus is on Empowering Women as History Makers: Past, Present & Future. Explore schedule of events here.
