The president of the YMCA of Northern Rock County board resigns, saying he lacks the expertise to deal with a board that has become “divided” under a cloud of concerns by Y members.
Jeff Jensen took the helm of the board late last year but resigned from the 14-person board Saturday.
A manager at Festival Foods, Jensen is stepping down amid an outcry by members who claim the Y’s governance and financial dealings lack transparency and as a group of members is threatening to sue the Y over an open records request it says the Y has not adequately responded to.
The Y early this year announced Jensen as the board’s new president, replacing Jason Engledow.
Three former board members say Engledow, a banker and Cedarburg resident, unilaterally terminated them from the board in 2017 and 2018 without a board vote and without offering clear reasons for their dismissals.
