Smaller YMCA Network (Under $4M)
Coordinator: Angie Lassley, YMCA of Salina Kansas, alassley@salinaymca.orgAdvisor: Paul Andresen, NAYDO Alumni & Retiree Team, pdandresen@gmail.com
This network is for independent associations with budgets size of under $4M (branches and centers with budgets of that size may attend but the Operations Network would probably be a better fit). Not sure how all of this information at NAYDO can possibly apply to you? Make plans for getting the most out of your conference experience by connecting with ohter staff who understand how you operate when you have no development department and are "doing it all".
NOTE: Smaller YMCAs ($2M and under) can apply for an $80 grant provided by the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington to cover the cost of NAYDO Day on Capitol Hill. Apply on regular NAYDO Financial Assistance Form found on this website.

Time will be allotted to discuss ways NAYDO can become more helpful to Small Ys and ways networking started at the conference can continue year round.
