Sharon Halpin Brings 38 Years' Experience Within the YMCA Movement.
Freehold, NJ, December 18, 2017— The YMCA of Western Monmouth County has named Sharon Halpin as its Interim President/CEO, effective November 27, 2017. Selected by the Y’s Board of Directors, Halpin will succeed Cynthia Joy who stepped down November 22. “With Sharon’s 38 years of service to the Y and passion towards the Y’s mission, we feel confident that the YMCA of Western Monmouth County will have fantastic leadership,” said Stacey DeAlmeida, YMCA Board Chair.
A lifelong resident of New Jersey, Mrs. Halpin attended Wittenberg University and has made her home in Middletown for over 40 years. With wellness and fitness always a priority in her life, Sharon began her YMCA career at The Community YMCA as an instructor in both fitness and aquatics. Her ability to connect with people combined with strong leadership skills set the stage for her to ultimately serve as the Community Y’s Director of Human Resources from 1979-2000. She joined the YMCA of Western Monmouth County in 2000 as Director of Operations and has served as Vice President of Human Resources and Risk Management since 2007. Known to be an innovative, organized and highly energized leader with broad knowledge, Sharon brings to her new role a proven history of major accomplishments in strategic planning and organizational development. “I look forward to not only continuing our Y’s long-standing commitment to strengthen the communities of Mercer, Middlesex and Monmouth Counties, but also expanding our opportunities, community partnerships and outreach efforts”, said Mrs. Halpin.
