ABOUT THE CITY CLIMBERS CLUB The City Climbers Club is a non-profit member organization formed almost 20 years ago to negotiate climbing access issues in Central Park. That relationship lead eventually to the creation of the climbing wall at the West 59th Street Rec Center. Your membership dues and day-pass fees fund the club and the gym. We want you to be more involved, and to understand how the club operates. To better serve the members and to respond to the increased demand the club has experienced in recent years, we recently reorganized the management structure. Here's who's who and what's what: The CCC is overseen by a Board of Directors, all of whom are club members. The current board members are: Daniel Simon (President), Ethan Abeles (Vice President), Marat Saks (Treasurer), James DiGiovanna (Secretary), Monique Mitchell and Tatiana Uschakow. They make the big, long-term decisions about how the club is run, how to best spend your membership dues and how to make sure the club continues to grow and thrive. The day-to-day operations of the gym are run by three managers: Eric Lee is the Human Resources Manager. He oversees the supervisors, conducts all the training and is responsible for the climbing instruction programs. Iggy Gaerlan is the Programs Director. He runs the daytime events most members never see, including private parties, after-school programs and kids' events.
Roberto Herrera is the Physical Plant Manager. He is responsible for maintaining all aspects of the gym's infrastructure and equipment. Iggy, Roberto and Eric all work regular supervisor shifts, so they are around to answer your questions about the club and the gym. If you have any ideas or concerns, or if you want to get involved, let us know. The Club's success hinges on member involvement. |
