Heidi Erickson, Door County YMCA CEO, has resigned her position with the organization effective September 16, 2022. Erickson will continue her dedication to the Y organization with the YMCA of the Fox Cities as the Branch Executive for the Fox West Y in Greenville, WI. 

“It was a difficult decision to leave the Door County Y and this community that was so welcoming to me,” Erickson said.

There were a variety of considerations that factored into her decision, including being closer to family.

“Heidi has played a critical role in positioning the Door County Y to have a successful completion of its current capital campaign project,” said Sally Pfeifer, Door County YMCA Chief Volunteer Officer. “She has successfully guided the Door County Y out of the pandemic, having increased membership to pre-pandemic levels. Additionally, under Heidi’s leadership the Y has developed deeper community connections with other non-profit organizations, thus increasing the impact the Y has in the Door County Community. Her strong leadership will be missed but we are happy she is staying with the YMCA family.”

“We are in the early stages of developing our search process, which will include support from Y-USA leaders,” said Pfeifer. “Door County is very fortunate to have one Y, with two locations, that focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, which strengthens our community in spirit, mind, and body.”

Erickson also states, “We have a truly remarkable organization with amazing staff and volunteers that serve our members, donors, and community with their time, talent, and dedication. I look forward to watching the continued growth and success of the Door County Y.”
