The YMCA of Greater Dayton has named a new CEO and president, replacing Tim Helm who is leaving to become CEO of the St. Louis YMCA.

Dale Brunner will take over effective Oct. 1.

“The Y makes a tremendous impact in the lives of our neighbors every day, and it is an honor for me to be a part of that. I plan to continue to help make a difference promoting the YMCA mission,” Brunner said. “I’m truly excited and looking forward to the opportunity to enhance our presence and partnerships in the Miami Valley community.”
