Today we celebrate Father’s Day and recognize the impact fathers and male role models have on children’s lives. More than a 100 years ago, Sonora Louis Smart Dodd aspired to create a holiday to honor fathers. Dodd, the daughter of a single father and Civil War veteran, was inspired by a Mother’s Day service and wondered why there wasn’t a holiday for fathers. Her idea came to fruition with the first Father's Day celebration at the Spokane #YMCA on June 19, 1910. We are honored to be part of this history and to continue creating opportunities for fathers and children to bond through swim, sport, play and more! #fathersday #dads #austin #austintx

The Greater Austin YMCA named Reagan Nash, Senior Vice President of Wealth Management with Morgan Stanley Financial Services, as the next Chair of its Metropolitan Board of Directors during its 71st annual meeting, held last week at Huston-Tillotson University. Nash began his Y service over 15 years ago with the TownLake YMCA’s Community Advancement Board, where he helped lead the Y’s oldest and largest facility through a major renovation in 2012. As a member of the Y’s Metro Board, Nash played a key role on its COVID-19 Recovery Task Force in 2021, helping guide the nonprofit back to stability and growth. “The Y has been such a big part of my life and of this community for so long, it’s humbling to be chosen to serve in this role and help elevate quality of life across Greater Austin,” Nash said. “We learned during the pandemic that our community needs the Y to step up in new ways, and I’m excited to help lead that evolution.” Read more at https://lnkd.in/gZCywD7e #austintx #austin #nonprofitleadership
