Congrats Debbie! Well deserved! If you know Debbie you know how dedicated she is to the mission of the YMCA. She is a tremendous asset to their organization and her community at large.
YMCA Southcoast is thrilled to announce our new Chief Operating Officer, Debbie Fringuelli. Debbie brings 28 years of dedicated service to the YMCA movement beginning her career with the Old Colony YMCA in East Bridgewater and joining YMCA Southcoast in March 2015. As Senior Executive Director of the Gleason Family YMCA, she provided leadership across multiple branches contributing to strong growth.
In 2025, Debbie served as the Interim President & CEO of YMCA Southcoast for eight months prior to the appointment of Lucria Ortiz as President & CEO. Debbie is deeply committed to strengthening communities and building meaningful collaborations that respond to the evolving needs of those we serve. Her strong people-connecting style is evident in her cohesive staff teams and deep relationships she builds across our various communities.
YMCA Southcoast is very fortunate to have Debbie take over all operations of our Association. Please join us in congratulating Debbie!
