ANAHEIM, CA – The Anaheim Family YMCA announces Lauren Johnson as the new executive assistant to the CEO, effective August 21, 2023.

In her new role, Lauren Johnson will support the work of the Y, a leading nonprofit, charitable organization committed to strengthening community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Her role intentionally fosters a cause-centered culture that is welcoming, genuine, hopeful, nurturing, determined, and also provides high-level administrative support to the CEO, Board Chair, and assigned executive staff.

When Lauren is not diving into the world of business, you’ll often find her outdoors—whether it’s kayaking, hiking, or just enjoying the fresh air. With her on these adventures, you’ll find her best friend Theodore, a Welsh Corgi.

“I’m genuinely excited about this new chapter at the YMCA. It’s not just a job; it’s a chance for me to bring my skills, energy, and enthusiasm to a place that’s all about making a positive impact. I can’t wait to collaborate with all of you,” said Johnson.

“I am so excited for Lauren to be a part of the YMCA team. Originally from Placentia, CA, she earned her bachelor’s degree in business management in 2020 and followed it up with an MBA, specializing in marketing, in 2022, both from Azusa Pacific University” said Brent Finlay President and CEO of the Anaheim Family YMCA.
