The Southern District YMCA Board of Directors is now comprised of 18 community influencers and leaders.

The 2015 Chief Volunteer Officer is Cindy Dominguez who has served on the board for six years. “The YMCA gave me confidence and inspired me to become the person I am today.

the expanded community is a great asset. I was humbled to
