EAU CLAIRE, Wis. – Royal Credit Union (Royal) Executive Vice President - Chief Experience & Marketing Officer, Pam Haller, has received the YMCA Leadership Award of Excellence. This prestigious honor, presented annually by the YMCA State Alliance of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, celebrates volunteer leaders whose dedication and service have made a profound impact on their local communities.
During her remarkable seven-year tenure on the YMCA board, Haller was instrumental in advancing numerous initiatives that strengthened the organization’s foundation and reach. Notably, she played a key role in brokering the merger between the Chippewa and Eau Claire YMCAs, a unification that created a stronger, more resilient organization to serve local families. She also facilitated the acquisitions of the sports center in 2019 and Eau Claire Fitness in 2023, expanding recreational opportunities and health resources for YMCA members. Additionally, Haller’s leadership was crucial during a significant CEO transition, a process that brought current President and CEO Derek White into the YMCA community and ensured continued growth and stability for the organization.
"Pam’s commitment to our community and her visionary leadership are truly inspirational to everyone she engages with," said Brandon Riechers, President and CEO of Royal. "Her incredible work with the YMCA has brought lasting benefits to countless families and individuals across our region. We couldn't be prouder of Pam for this well-deserved recognition, and we extend our heartfelt thanks for her relentless dedication to making our communities stronger and more connected.”
The YMCA Leadership Award of Excellence is a testament to the extraordinary impact of volunteer leaders, recognizing those who embody the YMCA’s values and mission. Royal congratulates Haller on this achievement and celebrates her continued contributions to enhancing the lives of others through leadership and service.
