Background

About Allen Baskett

Non-Profit & Community Development Executive. By engaging our members, building community support, and generating sustainable revenue streams we expanded the impact of our Y’s Mission in the communities we served. I’m a problem solver who’s passionate about working with the public. In the end, it’s all about working towards the greater good. I led the Y through some significant financial challenges and can thank our incredible team for working to rebuild the Y’s public image. Together, we grew our YMCA to one with wider reaching brand awareness and recognition. As a leader, I’m proud of having successfully managed all aspects of the YMCA’s fund development -from the ground-up (that includes stewarding the capital and annual campaigns). That requires being inventive, such as conceiving of, planning, and managing all manner of on-/ off-site events. Our success and accomplishments were realized because, as a team, we built a shared vision and leveraged our individual strengths and talents to collaborate and achieve what some thought couldn’t be done. It’s the power of team work. Core executive leadership strengths include: Budget Management Capital Management Community Building Board Relations Public Relations Facilities Maintenance & Management Staff Development If you're interested in connecting, please reach out to me at allenb@bright.net.
