“The Y, through its 2013 and beyond Strategic Plan, seeks to focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility in our West Hudson communities, and I am extremely grateful that this tremendous organization has allowed me to strive to accomplish these completely attainable goals,” said Davie.
Davie previously served as vice president of the Hudson- Liberty Boy Scouts of America and pro bono counsel for the Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps, as well as a soccer coach for Kearny Recreation, Thistle F.C. and High Tech High School.
