Rikki Nevins-Executive Director

Rikki Nevins, originally from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, moved to Ottawa in 2004. While in Montana, Nevins supervised a medical fitness facility and during her swimming career she twice participated in trials to qualify for Olympic competition. Those qualities, along with her education background, made her a good fit for the YMCA. Nevins was hired in 2010 and has embraced the YMCA philosophy and the Ottawa community. Nevins has a bachelor's degree from the University of Missouri in three concentrations: human development and family studies, sociology and communication.
