Marblehead Resident Kevin Colcord Joins YMCA of Metro North Board

The YMCA of Metro North is pleased to announce the appointment of Kevin Colcord as the newest member of its Board of Directors.

Colcord, a Marblehead resident, is retired after a career in engineering, manufacturing, and management consulting.

“Kevin has been a great supporter of the Y. He led several committees we are involved with and is lending his expertise to help us plan for the opening the new Demakes Family YMCA in Lynn early this Spring,” said Kathleen Walsh, President and CEO of the YMCA of Metro North. “Adding his experience and leadership skills to our board could not have come at a better time. I look forward to working with Kevin to help steer us toward a bright future for the Y.”

The construction of the new, 70,000 sq. ft. YMCA in Lynn will be completed in February. The YMCA of Metro North will begin to enroll students in its new Y Academy preschool classrooms this month and invite members to schedule tours of the new facility.

Colcord also served as a member of the Board of Directors for other nonprofits in the region. He and his spouse Dee Colcord are focused on supporting organizations that align with their family values.

“The YMCA is a tremendous community resource here on the North Shore. I have been totally impressed by the depth and breadth of its offerings and the continued commitment to serve all. I am very excited and proud to be part of this outstanding organization,” noted Colcord.
