YMCA Welcomes Interim CEO

The Door County YMCA welcomes interim CEO Steve Harty, who joined the organization effective Sept. 7. He has served the YMCA organization in a variety of positions during his 38-year career, retiring in December 2018 after 20 years as the president/CEO of the Greater Green Bay YMCA. 

“Steve’s reputation as a great collaborative leader and his ability to create a welcoming culture among staff and members make him the perfect fit for interim leadership for our Y,” said board chair Sally Pfeifer. 

Harty said his guiding approach is simple: “Leave things better than you found them” – advice that he said his father gave him. “The Door County Y has an amazing and hardworking team, and I’m excited to see what we can do in this time together,” he said. 

The Door County YMCA board of directors will be working with YUSA to conduct a CEO search. Pfeifer and the CEO selection committee members anticipate having a new CEO hired by the end of the year, with onboarding taking place in early 2023.
