Letter from James Finck, President & CEO
Dear YMCA Friends:
You may have seen or heard the media coverage yesterday regarding the announcement of our new brand - The Y.
What may not have been clear is that, regardless of the brand change, we're still the YMCA. Our name will remain the YMCA of Austin.
