Dr. David Newman

Dr. David Newman is one of the world's leading experts on the history, mission, and future of the YMCA. He has spent nearly 20 years training, speaking, and inspiring a vision of the global potential of the YMCA.

David loves the YMCA and has a passion to lift the C in this movement. He pastors a church that is partnered with his local Y and he has a life-long vision of seeing a church partnered with each of the 14,000 YMCAs around the world. David has had the opportunity to experience the mission in amazing ways as he has helped to build many YMCAs in remote parts of the world.

Most importantly, David loves God, his amazing wife, and his four sons. They live in Lebanon, Ohio where he serves on the board of the Countryside YMCA. Every year he hopes the Packers will win the Super Bowl, The Red Sox will win the World Series, Cornell will win the Ivy League (in lacrosse), and Auburn will win the national championship (or at least beat Bama).
