The YWCA Board of Directors has appointed Liz Swanson  from the Valtas Group as Interim Executive Director.

The Valtas Group is well known through the Pacific Northwest for guiding successful nonprofit executive leadership transitions, including other YWCAs, sexual assault services, childcare programs, and many other human services organizations across Washington. Liz Swanson brings over 30 years of experience serving and advancing mission-driven organizations and a strong commitment to the YWCA’s mission of eliminating racism and empowering women. Her expertise working with a wide range of nonprofits, most recently with a women’s shelter and a number of childcare programs, will be invaluable during this transition period.
