Local Congressional and Legislative Offices Visit the NSYMCA
Sharing new focus areas, strategic plan and capital projects for the facility
Northbrook, IL; August 2023: Amongst the laughter and smiles of summer campers, local Congressional and Legislative offices visited the North Suburban YMCA on August 1st. Congressman Brad Schneider, Senator Julie Morrison and Representative Bob Morgan were greeted with colorful welcome signs hand drawn by campers from the Y’s Adventurer camp. Campers shared their favorite things to do at camp and learned a little about government, as well.
Both the Y and governmental leaders are dedicated to working together to make communities better. The group toured the facility to see the impacts the Y has on youth, families, individuals and seniors. They discussed how the Y is adapting and growing to meet more community needs than ever, as well as the current challenges the organization faces, including a list of capital projects. The group talked about how the Y is impacting the community locally, including access and inclusion for individuals with special needs, family connectedness, senior health, drowning prevention, healthy living, social responsibility and chronic disease management. The plan is to have the Y continue to work in partnership with governmental offices, providing resources to improve the quality of life in the Northshore.
“We are so grateful to have such competent and compassionate representation in Washington DC and in the Illinois State Capitol,” said Debbie Madeley, Development Director of the NSYMCA. “We sincerely appreciate the time our federal and state governmental representatives take to fully understand the current climate, our challenges, and the positives of our area nonprofits, residents and businesses.”
