 Some question if Boys & Girls Club blue runs through Ray Black’s blood. While Ray is currently the executive director of Lide White Memorial Boys & Girls Club in Madison, Ray has been involved with the Club since he was a student at Madison Junior High School in 1964. He began working for the Club as a volunteer and held various roles such as the Assistant Director. In 1984, Ray took over as the Club’s Executive Director and has remained committed since.

“The Maytag Dependable Leader Award allows Maytag brand to give back to Boys & Girls Club professionals and volunteers who continue to give tirelessly of themselves to the Clubs and the youth they work with,” said William Beck, senior brand director, Maytag.  “Boys & Girls Clubs’ staff, volunteers and board members provide hope and balance; it is our honor to recognize these individuals with this award.”
