Saratoga Regional YMCA Appoints Allison D’Antonio as Chief Executive Officer

Saratoga Springs, NY — October 7, 2025 — The Saratoga Regional YMCA Board of Directors is proud to announce the appointment of Allison D’Antonio as the organization’s new Chief Executive Officer. A seasoned YMCA leader with nearly 15 years of experience across multiple sectors of the organization, Ms. D’Antonio brings unmatched expertise and a proven record of impact at a critical time for the SRYMCA’s expansion.
Since joining the Saratoga Regional YMCA in 2017, D’Antonio has served in several key leadership positions, including Vice President of Operations and, most recently, Interim CEO. In these roles, she has advanced major operational improvements, strengthened member and staff experiences, and guided the organization through a period of significant transition and growth.
“Allison’s deep understanding of the YMCA mission and her proven leadership across multiple areas of our organization make her the ideal person to lead us into the future,” said Scott M. Peterson, Chair of the Saratoga Regional YMCA Board of Directors. “This is an exciting time of growth for the SRYMCA, and we are confident in Allison's ability to expand our reach and deepen our impact across the region.”
“It’s a tremendous honor to serve as CEO of the Saratoga Regional YMCA,” said Allison D’Antonio. “The Y has been at the center of my professional and personal life for many years, and I’ve seen firsthand the impact it makes in the lives of families across our region. Now, more than ever, we are working to ensure that the SRYMCA continues to serve as a bedrock of the community where people of all ages and backgrounds come together for connection and movement. I’m excited to lead our incredible team of dedicated employees and execute on our mission to grow our reach even further.”
D’Antonio’s YMCA career extends well beyond Saratoga. She previously held roles with the Capital District YMCA and the Alliance of New York State YMCAs, where she directed the statewide healthy living portfolio. Her expertise spans operations, childcare, fundraising, facilities, membership, and health and wellness — giving her a comprehensive perspective on how to strengthen the Y’s impact in the communities it serves.
Her appointment also marks a historic milestone as the first woman to lead the Saratoga Regional YMCA. This transition comes at a pivotal moment for the Y, which has recently acquired the Glens Falls YMCA and is preparing to launch expanded programming and capital improvements.
Deeply rooted in the community she now leads, D’Antonio lives in Saratoga Springs with her husband, Ryan, and their three children, Will, Ben, and Brooke. As both a YMCA professional and parent, she brings not only experience but also a personal commitment to ensuring the Y continues to serve families with excellence.
The Saratoga Regional YMCA looks forward to building on its strong foundation and achieving new levels of growth and innovation under D’Antonio’s leadership.
