Returning to Where It All Began
This year’s conference holds special significance as it returns to St. Louis, where NAYDO was first conceived in 1979. Just as St. Louis served as the Gateway to America’s westward expansion, NAYDO 2025 will be the Gateway to Giving and innovation in YMCA philanthropy.
Why We’re Sponsoring
As a platform built specifically for YMCAs, we understand the unique operational challenges facing these vital community organizations. Our mission aligns perfectly with NAYDO’s goal of empowering YMCAs to operate more efficiently so they can focus on what truly matters – serving their communities.
The NAYDO Conference brings together the brightest minds in YMCA leadership, and we’re honored to participate as the Friday Breakfast Specialty Sponsor. This gives us the opportunity to connect directly with YMCA professionals who can benefit from our digital transformation solutions.

Visit Us at Booth 618
Throughout the conference, you’ll find our team at Booth 618 in America’s Center. We’ll be demonstrating how Operate Fit replaces traditional paper-based processes with automated workflows for:
- Incident reporting and tracking
- Contract management
- Facility safety checks
- Compliance documentation
- Multi-location standardization
Our platform was designed specifically for YMCAs by industry experts who understand your unique operational needs. We’re excited to show how real-time monitoring, analytics, and SMS alerts can reduce risk, enhance efficiency, and empower your data-driven decisions.
