YMCA Lincolnshire Chief Nominated for Leadership Award
YMCA Lincolnshire Chief Executive Caroline Killeavy has been shortlisted as a regional finalist at the 2019 Forward Ladies national Awards & Summit for her ongoing work with and for Lincolnshire’s community.
Caroline, who has led YMCA Lincolnshire for almost two years, is a contender for Public Sector/Academia/Not for Profit Leader in the Midlands region.
Her role involves providing strategic direction, leadership and ongoing support to YMCA Lincolnshire in its not-for-profit projects, including those in health and wellbeing, youth, childcare, accommodation and training services.
The Forward Ladies Awards & Summit, now in its 10th year, is designed to demonstrate enterprise, talent and innovation from across the region’s thriving business community.
Caroline said: “I’m delighted to have been nominated for the Forward Ladies awards, and to have the work of YMCA Lincolnshire celebrated in such a way – especially as we mark its 150th year – is wonderful.
“We have worked very hard this year to support those in need across Lincolnshire, and to provide opportunities to those who have struggled to thrive. I’m looking forward to meeting all of the deserving and inspiring nominees.”
The Forward Ladies Awards & Summit takes place at the Hyatt Regency in Birmingham on Friday 4th October.
