The Meriden-New Britain-Berlin YMCA Announces Promotions

February 12, 2023

Steve started his YMCA career twenty-four years ago as a child care teacher. Since that time he has taken on numerous roles including leadership positions in Child Care, Youth Development, Membership, Operations and as the Meriden YMCA Branch Executive Director.

"Steve's leadership skills, knowledge of the inner workings of operations across the YMCA branches, hands-on approach to working with the team and his ability to execute are an asset to our Y and the communities we serve," said John Benigni, CEO of the Meriden-New Britain-Berlin YMCA.

Carmen Chaparro joined our team twelve years ago to lead our fundraising and community events, grow donations and build collaborations with community organizations. Two years ago she added the job of Membership Director to her Community Engagement role. As Membership Director her responsibilities include membership sales, member engagement and Front Desk operations. In addition to her career at the YMCA, Carmen is also a successful real estate agent with Harriman Real Estate. Her previous business experience includes sixteen years as a Human Resources Director.

"Carmen has done an exceptional job supporting our community mission with her strong leadership, relationship building and fundraising skills. Her promotion allows Steve to expand his work building our operations and relationships in the three communities we serve while she ensures our Meriden community is well cared for. She is the first woman and first Latina to lead the Meriden branch. Our Y is fortunate to have Steve and Carmen on our leadership team and we are excited about their passion for serving the Y's mission and making an even greater impact in the lives of kids, families and adults in our communities," said John Benigni.
