They are dynamic community leaders, seasoned professionals, and rising young executives. Some have served on the board over many years, while others are new friends. A few hold a deep personal connection to our programs, but many came to know the agency through a business associate. They represent a multitude of vocations and occupations, and hail from cities and towns across the area.

A message to
our friends Once again, the Y.O.U., Inc. community has been successful at building a brighter future for the more than 20,000 young people and their families who received services from our agency during this past year. Congratulations! As we so often say, our Board of Directors not only make the difference, they are the difference. In fact, the future of our organization depends on the time, talent, and treasure given by these very special people. When you see them, be sure to thank them for their outstanding stewardship of Y.O.U., Inc. Y.O.U., Inc. has faced multiple challenges during this past year, and yet through the combined efforts of our professional staff, our volunteer board, and our many supporters throughout the community, we achieved many significant benchmarks. A few of our successes are as follows: • Y.O.U., Inc. suffered two electrical fires during our unusually harsh
winter last year. The staff at our group home for boys in Oxford and our transitional apartments for homeless teen mothers did an incredible job planning and implementing an effective and supportive interim plan for our clients. Like all our employees, they went well above and beyond the call of duty to ensure a successful transition. Thankfully, the Oxford boys have already returned to their newly renovated home, and the teen moms will be “home” soon to their new apartments.

Fundraising professional Pat Harmon knows first-hand the extraordinary stress that families face when their child is in need of supportive educational services: her daughter was a Y.O.U., Inc. client. During Pat’s 13-year tenure on the board, including as Board Chair, she has been instrumental in the agency’s strategic planning, marketing, and fundraising efforts.
In his 20-plus years in public service, Tim McMahon has seen first-hand the difficulties faced by both state and private agencies working to offer comprehensive and innovative programming with greatly reduced funding. His professional insights on the best ways to accomplish that goal will be a significant asset to our Quality Assurance Committee. Arts and Culture director Dolly Vazquez has enjoyed a long and productive working relationship with our agency, and understands first-hand the importance of offering targeted, culturally-competent services to children and families in need. Her leadership in the Latino community of Worcester is an outstanding resource for the Y.O.U., Inc. Board. Representing the academic community on the Y.O.U., Inc. board is Assumption College’s Paul Belsito, whose experience in politics and the state legislature is a perfect fit for our Government and Community Relations Committee. Paul’s proven abilities to advocate for constituents and community members in need are a true asset to the agency.

We serve as the “Lead Agency” for their Worcester West office, managing an expansive, integrated system of purchasing services that connect children and families being served by the Massachusetts child welfare system with vital mental health care.
Family Support Network As part of the Children’s Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI), which provides structure and definition to the delivery of mental health services for children, Y.O.U., Inc. serves as a Community Service Agency (CSA) for the South Central/Blackstone Valley area. As part of this initiative, Y.O.U. Inc. offers comprehensive Intensive Care Coordination for families, which involves facilitating care planning meetings for each family, and coordinating referrals for community supports that will augment their treatment. In addition, the agency’s Family Partners provide support and training for families whose children suffer with Serious Emotional Disturbance.
DYS Community Services Program Y.O.U., Inc. contracted with the Department of Youth Services to develop regional community service teams that have effectively combined the DYS regional casework staff and provider employees into a team that delivers high quality, culturally responsive services and supports. These teams build on the strengths and compensate for the deficits of the youth and families served by the Department, in a manner that produces positive results for DYS clients, their families, and their communities.

As the new chair of our Financial Development Committee, Ian is eager to provide strategic direction and management expertise. Taking a non-traditional path to college and a career is something attorney Donna Truex can relate to, and it’s what drew her to Dynamy’s mission and Board of Directors. Now a member of our Executive and Nominating committees, Donna brings with her a long history of service in the greater community. Finance executive Chris Palermo believes that in these difficult times for non-profits, it’s imperative that professionals with valuable expertise donate their time and talents to the missions of these worthy organizations. And in his more than 10 years serving on our Finance and Young Professional Advisory Committees, Chris has done just that.
In his career as an operations management executive, Ralph Rondinone Jr. recognizes the fundamental value of a highly trained workforce, and a constant focus on quality in service delivery. Finding both at Y.O.U., Inc., he recently made the decision to bring his expertise to our board, and now serves on the Finance Committee. Inspired to help at-risk children and families gain the education and life skills they need to succeed on their own, attorney Samantha McDonald took a leadership role in this year’s Capital Campaign. Samantha brings a strong voice and a clear focus on the needs of today’s clients – and tomorrow’s – to the Board. Sales Director Chris Peris may be one of our newest board members, but his fresh perspective and experience on our Young Professionals Advisory Committee are already proving invaluable.

For an agency of our size, technology plays a critical role in everything from client scheduling and electronic health records, to accurate and timely insurance billing. Information Technology executive Gerard Morales brings that industry perspective, along with fresh approaches to fundraising and development, to our Finance and Young Professionals Advisory Committees. Providing seasoned guidance and advice to future leaders of our board is a role perfectly suited to retired marketing executive Larry Morrison. In his 16 years on the board, including a term as Board Chair, Larry has served on virtually every committee – and his contributions to the agency are significant and far reaching. Former information technology and insurance executive Gary MacConnell was instrumental in the recruitment and hiring of Y.O.U., Inc.’s very first MIS Director. Over many years, Gary has lent his considerable expertise to numerous facets of the agency’s operations, serving as Board Chair and working tirelessly on many fundraising projects and capital campaigns.

As an advisor in the Junior Achievement program, banking executive Tom McGregor saw the benefits of giving promising students the support they needed to succeed in college and beyond. That experience ultimately led to his interest in our agency, where he now serves on the board’s Capital Campaign, Finance, and Development committees. As the founder of programs for youth in Tanzania, marketing professional Anne Kottler was a perfect choice to serve on Y.O.U., Inc.’s International Child Welfare Committee. To our good fortune, Anne’s fundraising, marketing, and event planning expertise will also be put to very effective use on our Development Committee. Roy Angel brings considerable non-profit governance and finance experience to the board in his role as Government Affairs Committee Chair, helping the agency to foster relationships with local legislators. He also brings a parent’s perspective to his 12 years on the board, as his son is a graduate of the Kathleen Burns Preparatory School.

“Thank you will NEVER be enough” – Parent of a Worcester Family Center client
With 36 years of board experience including a term as Board Chair behind him, it’s easy to see why retired Worcester educator Bruce Wells is not only a trusted resource for newer board members, but also the namesake of one of our most successful education endeavors: The Bruce Wells Scholars (Upward Bound) program. Kenyan-born professor Shiko Gathuo feels a deep personal connection to our agency’s work with the Street Families Rehabilitation Trust and the Youth Empowerment Center in Nyeri. Her unique perspective and knowledge of the social and political climate of Kenya informs her work on our International Child Welfare Committee. With more than 30 years of executive leadership in the mental health services field, Tom Manning understands first-hand the challenges faced by non-profits and the vulnerable families they serve. Tom’s deep ties to the human services community and expertise in government relations are an essential addition to our Board.

“My son is truly a changed person because of this program.”
Human Resources consultant Bob Carnegie has a 30-year history with Y.O.U., Inc., and throughout those years has volunteered his services as a trainer, recruiter, and board member. Bob recently rejoined our Human Resources Committee, where his industry expertise and commitment to our mission will continue to be an asset to the agency. In two ten-year board terms spanning most of our 40-year history, attorney Wally Whitney has been a key player in countless major agency events, but none more so than our 2009 merger with the Dynamy program. This former Board Chair continues to serve the agency as an Emeritus director and trusted advisor. Finding common ground and opportunities to effectively share resources for at-risk youth are a priority for Reverend Clyde Talley, pastor of Belmont A.M.E. Zion Chuch. Clyde is a passionate voice for the Worcester community, with a business and technology background that will be invaluable to the Quality Assurance and Nominating committees.
As a result of a year-long analysis of our facility and technology needs, the Board of Directors of Y.O.U., Inc. voted to initiate a capital campaign entitled “Building Brighter Futures for 40 Years.� Our goal for this fundraising endeavor is $1.2 million with the monies raised going directly to these two major initiatives. Our facilities are well-located and accessible to our clients; however, although these buildings are attractive and welcoming, many are in need of betterments, upgrades, and some expansion of space or parking in order to continue the high level of quality care required by our clients. Just as importantly, as a behavioral health organization, Y.O.U., Inc. is under Federal mandate to develop an Electronic Health Record system. Implementation of an advanced system will ensure compliance with all of the requirements of insurance payors, improve the integration of medical and behavioral health care, and reduce billing costs by up to $250,000 annually. Thanks to all those who have supported this campaign, we are more than half way to our $1.2M goal!
