Today marks the end of an incredible chapter at the La Crosse Area Family YMCA as we celebrate Bill Soper on his final day as our CEO.

For more than three decades, Bill has dedicated himself to the Y and to the people and communities we serve. His leadership, passion, and commitment have helped shape our Y into what it is today, leaving an impact that will be felt for many years to come.

As we celebrate everything Bill has accomplished, we’re also excited for what comes next for the La Crosse Area Family YMCA and the opportunity to continue building on the strong foundation he helped create.

Please join us in thanking Bill for his many years of service and wishing him all the best in this next chapter. Bill, from all of us at the Y, thank you for everything!
