About The Position

As Director of Healthy Living, you are building more than programs —you are creating pathways for people to live better lives. You are the leader who ensures every member feels welcomed, every participant feels supported, and every staff member understands that wellness is about more than exercise —it is about community, confidence, and connection. This role requires someone who can balance operational excellence with relationship building, financial stewardship with mission impact, and strategic vision with daily execution. You must think beyond schedules and class offerings to see how healthy living strengthens the overall member experience and community trust. This is about leadership, innovation, accountability, and creating spaces where people feel they belong and can thrive.
