The River Valley Regional YMCA recently announced the promotion of Corinne Amrom to chief operating officer, effective Jan. 1.

According to a news release, Amrom brings more than 13 years of leadership experience with the River Valley Regional YMCA to her new role. Most recently serving as director of association advancement, she has led major Association-wide initiatives spanning child care expansion and compliance, School-Age and Pre-K quality improvement, membership growth strategies, marketing, fundraising, and corporate and community partnerships. Her work has consistently focused on strengthening operational systems that support both the Y mission and long-term financial sustainability.

“This internal transition reflects the strength of our team and our commitment to developing leaders from within,” said Chad Eberhart, CEO of the River Valley Regional YMCA, according to the news release. “Corinne’s leadership, organizational knowledge, and people-centered approach position her well to guide our operations as we continue to grow and deepen our impact across the region.”

In her new role, Amrom will oversee branch leadership and daily operations across the association’s six branches, with a focus on consistency, collaboration, and continuous improvement. She will support staff development, enhance member experience, and help guide strategic priorities–ensuring that every branch delivers a high-quality experience for members, families, and staff.

Amrom began her YMCA career as a child care director before advancing into association leadership roles, including executive director at the Jersey Shore Branch and later district executive director, the news release said.

“She played a key role on the transition team that guided the merger of the Lock Haven Branch into the River Valley Regional YMCA Association and later led the successful capital campaign to reopen the Lock Haven pool — restoring a critical community asset,” the news release said.

In addition to her strategic and operational leadership, Amrom serves as the Association’s Praesidium Guardian and Learning Champion, overseeing abuse prevention standards and staff development initiatives to support safety, compliance, and continuous learning.

Prior to joining the Y, Amrom served as an education coordinator at the former Bethune-Douglass Center. She holds a degree in Art Education and teaching certification.

“Please join me in congratulating Corinne on this well-earned advancement,” Eberhart added. “We look forward to the leadership, stability, and energy she will bring to this role–and to the continued success of the River Valley Regional YMCA.”

The River Valley Regional YMCA is one of our region’s longest serving nonprofits, established in 1866. The six branches of the River Valley Regional YMCA engage over 10,000 men, women and children.
