The Friends of the Ithaca Youth Bureau (FIYB) elected two new members, Jenny Bisha and Will Glennon, to the board of the not-for-profit organization whose mission is to support the services and programs of the Ithaca Youth Bureau (IYB).

"The FIYB board is growing and we are pleased that we are attracting a diverse, energetic group of leaders who are all united in their dedication to supporting youth in our community," said Jeff Love, FIYB board chair.

Bisha recently moved to Ithaca from Roanoke, Va., where she taught special education in the public school system. She now works in the Ithaca City School District. Her involvement with the school district revealed the significant impact that the IYB has on many youth in the community and prompted her to seek out opportunities to connect with the FIYB.

Glennon came to Ithaca from Providence, R.I., where he was an athletic director. With a background in athletics, education and marketing, he currently works with the IYB recreation department's football and basketball teams. He chose to become involved with FIYB as a result of his experiences working with the IYB community of parents and youth.

“Attracting dedicated board members is the most important job I have, and I could not be more pleased to see how our board has grown over the last three years," Love said. "Some of the most talented, motivated people in our community are members of our FIYB board. The talent of our board is what is driving our success.”
