Class Notes

Fredericksburg.com posted a recent article on Barney Reiley, CEO of the Rappahannock Area YMCA. After graduation, Barney taught history for a year at Colonial Beach High School. From 1982 to 1984, he was sports coordinator for King George County Parks and Recreation. In July 1984, he went to work for the Y full time. He became executive director in 1993 and oversaw its growth from 15,000 to 100,000 square feet, making it Virginia’s largest YMCA, with additional branches in Spotsylvania, King George, and Caroline counties. Wife Kim teaches in Stafford. They have daughters Meaghan, 28, Devlin, 27, and Erin, 18, plus two sons-in-law and three granddaughters.

In May, I earned a master’s degree in executive leadership from the University of San Diego School of Business Administration. I enjoyed the program, but after 22 months of going to school and working full time, I’m happy to be finished.
