Ryan Gadow

Ryan began his YMCA career in 1994 and earned Y-USA certifications in Organizational Leadership and Fiscal Management. By 2005, Gadow was serving as a Senior Program Director/ Operations Director for the Tampa Metro YMCA where he successfully managed a multimillion-dollar budget for the first time. His steady leadership and success for the programs under his purview earned him positions as Director of Operations at the Desert Foothills YMCA and later a Senior Executive role at Valley of the Sun YMCA. Most recently, Gadow was asked to serve as a Senior Vice President for the Y in Central Maryland where he has served for the past six years.

Ryan has a deep commitment to servant leadership for the community, members, program participants, donors and volunteers. He is very excited to join the leadership team at The Granite YMCA and looks forward to having a positive impact across all six branches as they strive to enhance the connection to community and the offerings to meet the changing needs of the youth and families they are so privileged to serve.
