“Although we will miss being together in person this year, the YMCA’s mission is about community and we want to give people an opportunity to connect with each other,” said Curt Hazelbaker, President and CEO of the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas. “I’m looking forward to sharing how the Y has served the community through COVID and what the Y will look like post-COVID. The Y’s mission includes ensuring we keep our community healthy in spirit, mind and body. When people are in need, the Y has always been there and we will continue to provide much needed services to the community.”
“I also want to thank Anne Chow for joining us as the Keynote speaker. She has a long list of achievements – most recently as the first woman and first woman of color to be named CEO at AT&T Business in the company’s history. She is an inspiring leader and we look forward to hearing from her during her Keynote and a live Q&A during the event,” continued Hazelbaker.
