The YWCA's historic building was opened in 1927.
The YWCA of Central New Jersey's longtime executive director, Jackie Glock, has retired.
In a letter to friends of the YWCA, board president Pat Fleming, Esq., announced that her retirement, which had been planned for some time, was effective immediately.
Cathleen Ludlow will become Acting Executive Director, effective July 21. Ms. Ludlow, who served as director of the YWCA's fitness center for ten years, will focus on developing relationships and programs that serve the community and carry out the mission of the organization.
Under Glock's tenure, the YWCA, which marked its 100th anniversary last year, underwent significant changes, both with regard to programs and the facilities.
One of her first efforts was to conduct a capital campaign which allowed the YWCA to upgrade its facilities with the establishment of the fitness center and the construction of the new early childhood learning center annex.
During Glock's tenure, the board studied its marketing area, and subsequently changed its name from the YWCA of Plainfield and North Plainfield to the YWCA of Central New Jersey, signifying reaching out to serve the needs of women and children throughout a broader geographic area. At the same time, the YWCA also intensified its outreach to youngsters of the community with after-school and summer activities.
Glock, who has a masters degree in planning and administration from Rutgers, is returning to her private consulting practice in organizational management and fund development.
Ludlow, whose family has long associations with the YWCA, is a graduate of the University of Maryland with a degree in community health education, and has held positions in marketing and proposal development prior to coming to the YWCA.
