Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. She is an active physician with a longstanding track record in medical education including leadership, teaching, and curriculum development. Leslie's commitment to the YMCA began as a toddler taking swimming lessons. Growing up, the Y provided her with a framework and foundation, and now it serves a similar role for her children. She would like very much to repay the Y through service on the Board and looks forward to enhancing its presence in the community. She and her husband, whom she met at Camp Echo, live in Evanston with their three children.
