NEW CEO/EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IN PLACE AT YMOW

1J9A3094

As YMOW embarks on our second half-century of service to our community, we do so with a new leader at the helm. Following an extensive search conducted by the Andrews Group, we are proud and excited to announce Barbara Niess-May as YMOW’s new President and CEO.

A proud supporter of the Ypsilanti community, Barbara comes to us with a proven track record of leadership and a commitment to making a positive impact in her community. Prior to her most recent position as Development Manager at The King Center, Barbara served as Executive Director of SafeHouse Center in Ann Arbor, transforming the organization into a progressive service provider supporting survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.

“Barbara’s experience and dedication align seamlessly with our mission, and we are confident that her leadership will contribute significantly to the continued success of YMOW," said YMOW Board Chair Dieter Otto.

YMOW PREPARES FOR FUTURE WITH "GIVE MORE TO FEED MORE" CAMPAIGN

Over the last 50 years Ypsilanti Meals on Wheels has provided food and support to thousands of homebound seniors, helped our oldest neighbors stay safe as they age at home, and provided peace of mind to loved ones near and far. We believe we have made great strides toward our vision of “a community where every senior feels nourished, valued and supported.” But as YMOW prepares to mark a half century of support to our homebound neighbors, we have chosen to look ahead rather than back. That’s because what lies in our future requires our action today.
