Merrimack Valley YMCA names new Chief Financial Officer
The Merrimack Valley YMCA has hired Chris Meyers of Tewksbury as its next Chief Financial Officer.
In this role, Meyers will provide leadership, direction and partnership in financial operations, management, performance, and strategy.
For more than 25 years, Meyers has held senior financial and technology leadership roles across several YMCA associations, including the YMCA of Greater Boston, MetroWest YMCA, South Shore YMCA, and most recently, the West Suburban YMCA, where he served as Chief Financial Officer.
“Chris comes to our Y with a proven track record and an understanding of the Y’s mission and culture,” said Merrimack Valley YMCA President and CEO Francis J. Kenneally III. “That foundation, coupled with his technical skills and expertise in financial management, is an asset as we look to grow and expand our programs and services.”
After earning a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Northeastern University, Meyers began his YMCA career. He’s had experience in many of the Y’s operational arears – from camps and child care to fitness and membership. Over time, he discovered a deep passion for finance and technology, which became the focus of his professional journey.
Meyers is known for his collaborative leadership style and dedication to mentoring others. He enjoys working closely with engaged board members who are committed to community impact, and with operational directors — helping them understand the financial landscape, modernize systems, and grow into future leaders.
“I feel deeply connected to the Y movement and I am honored to join the Merrimack Valley YMCA, an association I have long admired and been connected to,” Meyers said. “I look forward to working with our talented team to help our association run smoothly, be more efficient, and create systems that allow our employees to do their best work.”
His career reflects a deep-rooted belief in the power of the YMCA to transform lives, and he brings that passion and expertise to every role he takes on.
As Meyers joins the team, the Merrimack Valley YMCA is also celebrating the retirement of longtime CFO Cathy Landry, who announced her retirement earlier this year after 14 years of service to the Y.
