Gugliotti will serve on the Board's Community Awareness Task Force, where he will apply his marketing expertise to improve the public's understanding of the YMCA's charitable mission and services.

"I'm excited about this opportunity because the Y is such an integral part of the community," says Gugliotti. He adds, "Everyone at The Worx Group is committed to this community, and this will be a great chance for me to serve, in some small way, the Waterbury region that's been so good to us."

Andrew Roberts, Executive Director of the YMCA, says Gugliotti will be a strong addition to an already successful team. "Joe, as a lifelong greater Waterbury resident and YMCA member, has always served the Y by volunteering and by being a wonderful YMCA ambassador. Now, in his official capacity he can bring to bear the full power of his network and marketing experience for the good of the community. We are elated to have him on board."

He is also a member of the Board of Directors of Community Health Charities Connecticut and sits on the Board of Corporators of the Klingberg Family Centers.
