Y WELLNESS DIRECTOR RECOGNIZED
Your Y’s own Kim Miller has been named one of the 20 under 40 winners by the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce.
Kim’s dedication and commitment to the Y values and the wellness of the community earned her this prestigious honor. She started at the Eugene Family YMCA as a personal trainer and Front Desk employee and, during her 16 years here, worked her way up to the Director of Health and Wellness and Healthy Living. In this role, she manages all of the disease-prevention and healthy living programs, more than 100 group fitness classes a week, dozens of specialty fitness classes each year, wellness appointments and free educational lectures for the community. Her position oversees a $300,000 budget and more than 60 employees.
“My commitment to the success of the Y is really more of a commitment to the success of our community,” Kim says. “I see the Y as an extension of my family and I want this to be a good place for my boys and my family and everyone else’s families. I grew up in Eugene and I want it to stay a positive, inclusive place for everyone. If we have a thriving Y, there is nothing our community can’t do.
