Amy Gantz CheathamAmy Gantz-Cheatham, Executive Director

Hi. I’m Amy Gantz-Cheatham and I have the privilege of serving as the Executive Director of the Ward Y in Abingdon. I’ve been with the Y in Central Maryland since 2019 and more than 15 years of prior experience with Y associations in New York, Connecticut, California and New Jersey. My Y journey paired with previous work experience with the Jewish Community Center and The Redwoods Group has taught me a lot about community building and have prepared me well for the role I serve today. 

I love working for the Y because it allows me to be with people who appreciate and understand the Ys purpose in our communities.  I like to be able to make a difference.

I am here to support you and your family’s healthy living journey and ensure a positive member experience in a welcoming environment of inclusion and belonging for all. 

I look forward to seeing you at the Y!
