our leadership

The YWCA of Cortland is governed by a Board of Directors that is comprised entirely of volunteers, which oversee finances and ensure a strict adherence to the mission of our organization. Our Board of Trustees, who oversees our endowment and the maintenance of the physical plant, also guides the YWCA in making strategic and long range planning decisions. Our committed staff handles day-to-day operations.
