YMCA’s Warner resigns as CEO

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The YMCA of Kanawha Valley’s Board of Directors announced on Tuesday the retirement of the CEO, which went into effect immediately.

Monty Warner served as CEO for more than 4 years, overseeing an upgrade and expansion to the YMCA’s fitness center.

“I grew up in the old Henry Gassaway Davis YMCA on Capitol Street. It’s where I learned to play basketball, swim, and do arts and crafts. Most of all, however, I made lifelong friends. It was a joy to have played a part in making these same opportunities available to our Generation Z,” Warner said in a press release.

COO Erin Dydland and CFO Tony Mariani will lead the YMCA until a permanent CEO is found.
