Vicki Chats: Black Hawk County YMCA Executive Director – Norm Johnson
From the heart of Louisville to the community spirit of Waterloo, Norm Johnson is the man who’s carried the YMCA mission across state lines and straight into Black Hawk County. He’s the Executive Director of the Family YMCA of Black Hawk County—community-builder, encourager-in-chief, and a guy who can probably give you 10 good reasons to get moving before you finish your morning coffee.
