“We are privileged to be working with the premier communications firm in the East Bay,” said Mike Erwin, President and CEO, Mt. Diablo Region YMCA. “We see tremendous synergies between the YMCA and the Trainer organization, and together we can create and execute a strategic communications plan to garner the kind of publicity we need to support our community outreach effort.”
