The Who once sang “meet the news boss, same as the old boss”. They weren’t singing about Amy Flynn of Yakima’s YWCA but as of now they could. With the departure of executive director Erin Black, Amy Flynn took over as interim director and today she accepted the full time position as Executive Director of the YWCA.

The YWCA Board of Directors reports that after a nationwide search they chose Ms. Flynn for her strong grasp of all the details needed to lead the YWCA, her passionate commitment to the mission and a track record of successful work on behalf of the organization.

Flynn has a 15 year career of leadership working in fund raising, community engagement and public relations and says she is honored and excited to accept the special opportunity.
