Chicago Tribune | Y-USA close to picking its new president/CEO: "Y-USA close to picking its new president/CEO

At YMCA of the USA headquarters in Chicago last week, Kenneth Gladish moved to the 12th floor from the 14th, a drop in altitude and status. He had officially stepped down on Feb. 28 as president and chief executive officer and was starting a three-month stint as adviser during the leadership transition.

But who will succeed Gladish, who had led the nation's largest social-services non-profit for the last 6 1/2 years?

Miami lawyer Dan Casey chairs the Y-USA's national board and heads its 11-member presidential committee.

In an interview, he said that since Gladish gave notice last September, the committee retained the executive search firm Spencer Stuart, solicited comments from local YMCAs and considered prospects outside and within the Y movement."
