Marc Perry, Executive Director

Hi. I am Marc Perry, and I have the pleasure of serving as the Executive Director of the Dancel Y in Ellicott City. My Y career began in 2012 as a Y Camp Sports Specialist. Over the years, I have worked in various programs, leading sports, youth, and family programming for the Y in Central Maryland, and most recently as the Executive Director at the Y in Parkville. 

One of my greatest passions is building strong relationships and spreading positive energy in everything I pour my heart into. I believe that fostering a sense of community and connection is key to creating meaningful experiences and building a stronger, more resilient community where everyone can thrive. Whether through engaging with members, supporting my team, or participating in local initiatives, I am committed to helping others grow and succeed.

I am here to support you and your family and ensure a positive member experience. If we haven’t met yet, please stop by to introduce yourself!

I look forward to seeing you at the Y!
