YMCA Announces New CEO

After three months of searching, The YMCA of Douglas County has a new Chief Executive Officer who happens to be a familiar face - Steven Stanfield. Stanfield served as the fitness and aquatics director from 2014 to 2017 before moving to Central Oregon to work as the recreation director for the Sunriver Owners Association and the operations Manager at the Waldorf School of Bend. “I am honored to be back in service at the YMCA of Douglas County,” Stanfield said in a press release. “The Y is a pillar of the community, and my goals are to continue strengthening the relationships throughout our community, fostering a culture of health and positivity, and building long-term financial stability." Shelley Briggs Loosley is the chief volunteer officer and acting CEO since Cody Brockelmeyer left in May of this year. “There is no one else who can hit the deck running with our Y,” Briggs Loosely said in the press release. “We know his work ethic and integrity, qualities you don’t get from references. We are excited and relieved to know our Y will be in great hands moving forward.” For membership or general YMCA information, visit www.ymcaofdouglascounty.org. The YMCA first began serving Roseburg in 1948. Over the years there have been several additions and renovations made to the facility, all with the YMCA mission at heart: We build strong kids, strong families, strong communities.
