• Adjournment

This meeting is adjourned in memory of Rebecca Boylan, former Director of Philanthropy YMCA. Rebecca's passion was working with teens; specifically, teens who needed an advocate. She was intentional in her relationship building. She let every dismissal or inappropriate reaction slide off her back and dug her heels in more to connect. She didn't just relationship build; she likely helped save lives. Rebecca attended San Jose State University and continued her employment with the Y on and off until graduation when she joined the South Valley Family YMCA in 2008 as The Director of Philanthropy and Administration. Titles didn't mean anything to Rebecca though; you could find her with her sleeves rolled up in pretty much every facet of the Y. Rebecca was a champion of people. She truly wanted to help people be the best they can. She pushed hard, expected excellence and challenged herself to support beyond measure. The South Valley Y thrived in meeting and exceeding fundraising goals under her leadership. She was unapologetic in challenging the Y and the larger community to do more. She would remind us all youth deserve access and we have a responsibility to them. This infectious leadership would grow to be the culture and as a result, Rebecca leaves behind a legacy that will be imprinted for years to come. Generations of kids have come back to the Y to express appreciation or start their own Y journey. There is a palpable difference without her, a footprint no one can fill. We will honor her memory by continuing to be the best we can be. It's what she expects of us.
