Each year, the Downtown YMCA–Burkholder Center nominates a person or community partner who's given of their time, talent and financial resources to the Y's mission.
Brian Poynter
Area of Y Involvement: Board member
"In 2019, Downtown had various issues we needed to navigate with construction, struggling membership, parking issues, and a depleted Advisory Board. Brian had only been on the board for a few months in 2018 and agreed to be the Board Chair in 2019. He has provided great leadership to re-establish and re-energize our board, implemented a much-needed committee structure, increased board attendance at meetings and provided a vision to re-engage the Downtown community." —Scott Clinton, District Executive Director, Downtown YMCA–Burkholder Center
