During the most recent Mentorship York session, Kim Bracey—CEO of YWCA York and former Mayor—tackled one of leadership’s biggest challenges: conflict. Her message? “The goal isn’t to avoid conflict, but to be prepared to work through it.” 💬 From her military and civic leadership experience, Kim shared the “5 C’s” of conflict resolution: Calm, Caring, Curiosity, Creativity, and Collaboration 💠 She reminded us that active listening is the gateway to understanding, and that staying true to your values matters more than being liked. Thank you, Kim, for the tools—and courage—to face conflict with clarity and compassion. 👏

Happy Birthday to Angela — the heart of our office! 🎈 She’s the smiling face that greets you, the chipper voice on the other end of the line, and the real MVP behind the scenes who keeps us all in check (and the candy jar full) 😉 With eyes like a hawk, the wisdom of a doctor (literally), and a detail-driven, can-do attitude that holds us all together — Angela is the glue of LY. We’re SO lucky to have her on our team — help us wish her the happiest of birthdays today!💙

Happy Birthday to the one and only Kathy! 🎉 Our grammar queen, book lover, and summer sunshine enthusiast — Kathy is the brilliant mind behind our FLY Program and brings thoughtful perspective, compassion, and perfect punctuation to everything she does at LY! 😉📚 Whether she’s inspiring future leaders or correcting our commas (with love, of course), Kathy makes our team better in every way.

Celebrating 3 amazing years with Kathy, our incredible Future Leaders of York (FLY) Program Coordinator! 🌟 From shaping young minds in the classroom to mentoring the next generation of leaders, Kathy brings passion, warmth, and dedication to everything she does.
