Zach Fowler Completes Team Leader Certification

Zach Fowler, Health & Wellness Director at the Indian River Family YMCA, recently completed his Team Leader Certification from the YMCA of the USA. We caught up with him to ask about his time at the Y.

How long have you worked for the YMCA of South Hampton Roads?
I've worked for the YMCA of South Hampton Roads for 5 years.

What is your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of my job is working with my clinical patients, and seeing the progress they make on a weekly basis.

Aside from Principles & Practices, which course was your favorite and why?
I'm a big numbers guy and I really appreciated everything that was covered in Fiscal Management.

Tell us what you enjoyed about Principes & Practices?
The time engaging and learning from other associations from across the country was extremely informative, and I'm really glad I was able to bring new perspectives back to my family center.

What did receiving your certification do for you personally?
Receiving this certification really helped establish my role in the Y, and has allowed me to take on even more of a mentorship role for my direct reports at Indian River.

Please join us in congratulating Zach on this accomplishment!
