The Pikeville Area Family YMCA has a new chairman of the Board of Directors.
At their meeting last week the board chose Todd Breahm to take over for Jerry Kanney who
stepped down after 30 years.
In a statement to the Appalachian News Express, Breahm thanked Kanney for his commitment to the Y for 30 years, saying without his vision, the YMCA would not be what it is today.
Kanney said in a letter to the Board his goal for a full-scale Y has been accomplished thanks to what he called a “dream team” of board members.
Breahm also gave credit for success to relationships with the University of Pikeville, the cities of Pikeville and Coal Run and the Y’s members.
He says their next goal is improving the YMCA’s facility and some equipment upgrades.
