Remembering the Legacy of a Former Executive Director

Today we honor the legacy of Jean Ohman, former Executive Director of YWCA St. Paul. She worked at YW for 37 years in all, beginning in 1945 as a Health & Recreation staffer. 

In 1957 Ohman became Executive Director, a position she held for 25 years until her retirement in 1982. In addition to leading YWCA St. Paul for a quarter of a century, Jean Ohman was a talented poet. Below is one of her works we’d like to share with you today.
