Cindy is the executive director at YWCA Missoula. In 1992, after finishing her degree in business administration she began as a shelter and crisis line volunteer for the YWCA. She spent the next seven years working at the YWCA as a direct services provider responsible for case management and program development in the domestic violence and vocational services programs. In 1999, Cindy left the YWCA for a two-year stint as the executive director of the Montana Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, a statewide advocacy, public policy, and public education organization. In 2001, she returned to the YWCA to lead the organization as Executive Director using a combination of her academic background in business and her on-the-ground experience in the direct service arena.Casey is fortunate to be raising his four children with his wife Dayel in the city he grew up in and loves.
