It is my pleasure to introduce Kimberly Conroy as the Executive Director at Camp Thunderbird. Kim assumed her new role in the YMCA on March 1. However, Kim is not a stranger to the Charlotte YMCA. She also has a wealth of experiences that will contribute to her success in her new role.
Kimberly is a lifelong enthusiast of outdoor adventure and experiential learning. She has 18 years of experience as a goal and detail-oriented leader building successful cross-functional teams by designing educational programs and coaching strategies, increasing staff and participant engagement, and identifying areas for efficiencies and cost savings. Additionally, Kim has a proven record of developing and maintaining relationships that foster collaboration, trust, and support of the Y with local and national businesses and government administrations.
Kim joined the YMCA in 2006, overseeing operational and programmatic risk, safety, and security for 22 YMCA locations including two resident camps, and hundreds of off-site locations, Kim has built a reputation for her ability to balance appropriate risk taking with amazing experiences for 270,000 members, 5000+ staff, and 5000+ volunteers per year. She attributes this reputation to her ability to build strong relationships and ensure the Y has a solid answer for “why” they have each policy in place so that those leaders may champion safety within their branches.
Kim and her husband, Ross, have three girls ranging in age from 2 to 8 years old. In addition, she has a dog, 3 horses, a mini appaloosa pony, and 8 chickens! We hope you will drop by camp and welcome Kim to the Thunderbird family!
