New Door County YMCA executive director Heidi Erickson is ready for the challenges facing the organization. Replacing former CEO Tom Beerntsen, who is retiring, Erickson worked as the Northern Door County YMCA executive from 2016-19 before accepting a position at the East Side YMCA in Green Bay. Erickson says returning to Door County is like coming home again.
As far as looking ahead, Erickson notes that the plan is to enhance virtual programming provided through the YMCA.
Erickson credits Beernsten for being a strong leader for the Door County YMCA and helping with the transition period before he retires. Currently living in Suamico, Erickson plans to move back to Door County shortly. You can listen to the conversation with Heidi Erickson on the podcast page at DoorCountyDailyNews.com.
