This month's Employee Spotlight is Ivory Watkins.

Ivory has been a valued member of the YMCA team for the past six months, where she serves as a Front Desk Attendant.

Ivory’s connection to the Y began even before she joined the team—she first became a member and quickly grew to appreciate the positive atmosphere. Inspired by her experience, she decided to apply online and transition from member to staff. This unique perspective gives her a strong appreciation for the organization and the people within it.

For Ivory, the most meaningful part of working at the Y is the strong sense of community and belonging it creates. She values being part of an environment where people feel supported, included, and connected, both as colleagues and as part of the broader YMCA family.
