Belvidere Family Y changes leadership, member fees - Rockford, IL - Rockford Register Star

Big changes at the Belvidere Y.

Feb. 1, John Kaufield, president of the Y’s board of directors, began working as its interim CEO — just days after Bill Holsker was terminated.
“We’ve got to put out a search for a new CEO,” Kaufield said. “We need to get the message out that there is a change. The Y is in a spot like other nonprofits. We’re being squeezed with a loss of revenue and increasing costs.”

effective March 31, the Y is nixing its fully subsidized kids membership program, which served more than 915 Boone County youths in 2010 and 1,050 Boone County youths so far in 2011.
