The YMCA announced recently that Lauren A. Koontz has been named its next president & CEO, to succeed Edward G. Munster, who will be retiring, after more than 42 years of service to the YMCA. Koontz joined the Metro Atlanta YMCA in 2012 as its chief development officer. She assumes her new role in July. “One of the reasons I love the Y is our authentic commitment to deepening community impact and providing access and opportunities for all individuals,” Koontz said.
