The YMCA of Southeastern North Carolina has announced the new leadership of its board of directors, according to a news release.

Jim Hundley, executive vice president and director of preconstruction for Thomas Construction Group, will serve as chair of its board of directors.

Hundley will serve a two-year term that will end in 2021, officials said. He was appointed to the board in 2012 and has served as vice chair.
