NEW PRYMCA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR — The Piscataquis Regional YMCA in Dover-Foxcroft is pleased to announce the appointment of Mandy Adams as its new executive director/CEO, effective March 11.
“I am so excited to accept the position of the new executive director/CEO of PRYMCA,” said Adams. “I have fallen in love with the Piscatiquis County community and am thrilled to get the opportunity to dive in and work at the Y. I am extremely excited to get started and make a really great little Y even more fantastic!”
Adams comes to the PRYMCA with 20 years of demonstrated success in her career, most recently working for News Center Maine in Bangor, as an account executive. While there, Adams’ work included collaborations with community and business leaders throughout Central and Northern Maine to identify and implement the best, most effective marketing strategies to meet their needs. She has extensive experience in helping businesses prepare targeted campaigns using television, social media, and other platforms.

Prior to that, she spent 10 years as owner of a small business employing 12-15 people in her community.
Adams has recognized expertise in strategic thinking, marketing, team development, fiscal management and operations.
