Providence area YMCA appoints new leader

The YMCA of Greater Providence has announced a new head of its board of directors.

Amy Page Oberg was appointed to head the nonprofit organization’s board at its annual meeting yesterday.

She takes the place of James Purcell, president and CEO of Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island since 2004.

“I am so pleased that Amy has agreed to step up to this leadership role on our board,” YMCA CEO and President Karen Leslie said in a statement. “She has served us so well as the chair of our Bayside Branch Board and now she will have the chance to do the same for the entire association. I welcome the chance to work more closely with her.”

Oberg has chaired the Bayside Family YMCA since 2006. A lawyer, she works with DarrowEverett LLP which has offices in Providence and Boston, and has also served on the Barrington School Committee.
