Angie Lassley will join the YMCA of Greater Kansas City as Senior Vice President of Growth beginning July 15, 2024.

In this new role, Lassley will be responsible for developing overall financial development strategies and leading association-wide implementation that supports the Y’s mission, vision and culture. Her major areas of focus will include Annual Campaign and Capital Campaign. She will partner with the CEO and other members of the executive team to achieve short- and long-term philanthropic goals as well as to provide strategic leadership for planning, directing, executing and evaluating capital and facility development projects.

Lassley has been in the Y movement for more than 30 years, most recently as CEO of the Salina YMCA in central Kansas. She was the 16th person and first woman to lead the Y in Salina, a role she has filled since 2012. 

“Choosing the Y for my career was never something I thought of while growing up, but being able to make a difference every day in someone’s life is what drives me," Lassley said. "I have been fortunate to serve in several YMCAs across the country.”  

In addition to the Salina Y, Lassley has also served at YMCAs in Wichita, Kan.; Indianapolis, Ind.; and Lexington, Ky.

“I am excited to join the Kansas City team and be in the same community as our son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons," she said.

During Lassley’s tenure in Salina, the Y grew to serve more than 7,000 members, supported children and families with two new child care centers, and provided $294,000 in scholarships and subsidies made available by increased grants and strong donors and supporters. Lassley also led a $4.3 million capital campaign to update and renovate the facility in 2018, and a few smaller capital campaigns and projects to renovate the lobby and fund an upcoming Outdoor Education and Pavilion project.
