Welcome Amy White!
Welcome to our new Director of Community Strategies and Engagement: Amy White. Amy will be working with our regional staff and volunteers to continue to grow the work we do to support leaders and advocates and non-profit organizations throughout the region. She will also utilize her evaluation skills to also measure our impact, so we will know what type of a difference we are making in every community.
Amy grew up in Sheridan, MT, population 700 and after moving from Montana to Minnesota, eventually graduated high school in Cheney, WA. Over the past few years, Amy has held a variety of leadership positions within the YMCA of Greater Seattle and has taken an active role in diversity and inclusion issues within the Greater Seattle community. Her last position was as the Operations and Program Director at the Downtown Seattle YMCA. She has expertise in organizational management, program design and evaluation, and fundraising. She is a founding member of the YMCA of the USA National GLBT Affinity Group and serves on the Seattle Steering Committee of the Human Rights Campaign.
One of Amy’s favorite volunteer experiences was working as “Sammy the Camel” for the Seattle Art Museum’s grand opening and on the weekend you will find her at estate and garage sales in search of the perfect vintage treasure.
I live here in Seattle and I’m a member of HRC. I need to know who I should call to be a part of The Pride Parade with you.
