I started working for the YMCA 26 years ago in a small town in Iowa. After several years of running Youth Sports, Adult Sports and Summer Day Camp, I moved to Dallas and worked as a Program Director at the Irving YMCA. I then accepted the Executive Director position in Abilene, where I worked for four years. After that I took a VP position in Arlington where I was fortunate enough to open a new building and renovate two others. I then moved to Houston for six years before returning back to the Dallas YMCA!

Tyler Wiedenfeld
(214) 328-3849 | twiedenfeld@ymcadallas.org
Tyler started his YMCA career in 2018 as a Sports Coordinator with the Houston Association. He values the YMCA because he started playing sports as a child with the Y. The YMCA's sports program gave Tyler the opportunity to make friends and participate in a variety of sports. Without the roots of the Y, he wouldn’t have found his passion for sports and secure the opportunity to play baseball at Stephen F. Austin. Tyler has grown in the Y working his way to Senior Sports Director by giving back to the community and sharing the YMCA's mission. Tyler's goal is to provide as many kids in the East Dallas area with the opportunity to play sports and make lifelong friendships as he did growing up.
Danielle Beatty

Danielle has been with the White Rock YMCA since May 2019, and during her time with our organization, she has served our Child Watch and Membership teams and continued to build the youth dance program. Without Danielle and the White Rock youth dance program, many youths in our community would never have had the chance to build confidence and participate in a program they're passionate about. An important piece of the program's success is marketing, and in August of 2022, Danielle accepted the Marketing & Program Coordinator position. Danielle is passionate about community outreach. She is excited to build strong relationships with the East Dallas community to grow the YMCA mission along with the people we serve.
