The Tioga County Boys & Girls Club (TCBGC) Board of Directors is pleased to announce the hiring of a new Executive Director.
Katie Tracy is a former TCBGC employee. From 2009 to 2011, she worked as a Recreational Aide and was then promoted to Program Director.
“My past employment for the club has given me a firsthand look at the youth we help and an understanding of why having the club within our community is so vital,” said Tracy.
Tracy graduated from Dryden High School and received an associate’s degree from Broome Community College. She left the area for two years to pursue a retail management position and returned to Tioga County to be near family and friends, and to live in a small-town environment where she could be an integral part of the community.
Tracy not only brings past knowledge of the inner-workings of the TCBGC, but she also brings an enthusiasm to help the youth of Tioga County through this important organization.
“I am eager to spread the word on all the great aspects of the Club and continue to build our programs and memberships. I am so happy to bring my energy to a place where a difference can really be made. Having worked for the club in the past, I am super excited knowing how fun and rewarding this position can be. This new adventure is exactly what I was looking for and will be a rewarding opportunity,” she said.
“We are lucky to have such a passionate person like Katie to serve our community and the members of this club,” said Nick Ruiz, president of the TCBGC Board of Directors.
Tracy replaces Luke Henson, who resigned from the position in January of 2014.
