The Golden Isles YMCA is proud to announce the appointment of Keandra

Cash as the new Chair of its Branch Advisory Board, marking a powerful step forward in

honoring the organization’s rich legacy as a Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA).

“We’ve long been searching for the right leader to help guide the Golden Isles YMCA into its next

chapter and in Keandra, we’ve found someone truly exceptional,

” said William Gunther,

Executive Director of the Golden Isles Region YMCAs.

“Having a woman be the leader of a place

that has historically existed to grow women leaders of all ages just makes sense.”

Cash currently serves as the Program Manager for the Jobs Plus Initiative at the Brunswick

Housing Authority, where she leads a $3 million federal grant focused on employment,

education, and financial empowerment for residents.

“I bring a unique blend of expertise in program management, community engagement, and

personal development,” said Cash. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a

concentration in Community and Organizational Leadership.

Her commitment to community is evident through her extensive volunteer service with

organizations such as the American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, and the Glynn Community

Crisis Center. This deep-rooted dedication to service naturally led her to the YMCA.

“I am excited about the opportunity to join the Golden Isles YMCA Advisory Board because I

believe in the organization’s mission to serve families and strengthen our community,” she

shared.

“I’m eager to expand my knowledge and contribute to an organization that has been a

vital resource for so many.”

When she’s not at work or volunteering, Keandra is a proud mother of three active boys. She

cherishes time spent cheering them on at sporting events, cooking at home, dancing, and

making memories with friends and family.“We are SO EXCITED to welcome Keandra Cash as our new Golden Isles YMCA Board Chair,”

said Gunther. “She is going to lead our branch board to new heights not just in 2025, but well

into the future. I could not think of a better fit if I tried.”

The Golden Isles YMCA celebrates this appointment as both a nod to its nearly 110-year legacy

of women's leadership and a forward-looking investment in inclusive community growth.
