Andrew Fitzpatrick has been named the new CEO for the Boys and Girls Club of Marshall County.
In May of 2018 Billie Treber resigned as the executive director of the Boys and Girls Club after 17 years. The board of directors took advantage of the National Boys and Girls Club Association in determining the needs of the club and assistance in searching to find the right director.
In the winter of 2018, the opportunity of becoming the new CEO for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Marshall County became a possibility and in January 2019 the club’s Board of Directors decided to make it a reality.
Andrew graduated high school in southwest Missouri and attended Missouri State University where he received his B.S. in Criminal Justice, while simultaneously working as a Teen Director for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield, MO.
In 2003, Andrew made his fist big career move with the Boys & Girls Club movement when he transferred to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City. There he served as the Director of Teen Services for one year. The following year he was awarded the position of East Side Unit Director. In 2006 he returned to Springfield, MO to close it down and open a new club at Grant Beach Park.
At the beginning of 2010, Andrew furthered his career as the Vice President of Operations for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Arlington, Texas. He was able to help lead the re-structuring of staffing to align with BGCA, strategic planning, enhance HR processes, re-write policies and procedures, and enhance technology throughout the organization. He also improved his skills in board development and stewardship while making facility and vehicle upgrades to deepen the impact at the Clubs.
Andrew then served as CEO for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Corpus Christi, Texas from 2014 through most of 2016.
In the fall of 2016 he and his wife relocated to northern Indiana where he accepted the position as the Executive Vice President as part of his career development and a succession plan for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County. As Executive Vice President, Andrew had direct leadership responsibilities in the areas of program operations, resource development, grant management, marketing, finance, board development, leadership development, and strategic planning. Andrew also had direct oversight of the grand re-opening of the new Goshen Club, and the grand opening of the first full size Club in Elkhart at Beardsley Elementary.
As the new Chief Executive Officer of Boys & Girls Clubs of Marshall County, Andrew is anxious to work with the board on strategic planning to enhance the impact Boys & Girls Clubs have in the communities of Marshall County. Andrew says, “The board members true passion to serve the Boys & Girls Clubs of Marshall County is very exciting.” Like the board members of Marshall County, Andrew understands the need for youth services, and how important these services are in helping shape our youth to achieve and maintain success.
