LEADERSHIP & STAFF
We take great pride in helping to shape the future generation of Bangor.

LEADERSHIP TEAM
Catherine Myatt, Executive Director
Cat joined Bangor Housing in 2012 as the Director of Community Outreach, working to create and implement programs that would enhance the experiences and opportunities of families in the public housing community. In 2014, she opened the Boys & Girls Club of Bangor, a positive place for kids that has quickly become a second home, an extended family, and a life-changer for many. The club offers hope and opportunity to children and families who have had unequal access to enriching experiences outside of school, some who felt stuck or left out and didn't know where to turn. After an extensive background in youth development, Cat envisions the Club as a place where youth will find support, overcome barriers, and reach their fullest potential.
Heather Fidler, Director of Operations & Impact
Heather was excited to expand her career path to include the Boys & Girls Club of Bangor in early 2021. She brings many strengths to our club with her bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, years of teaching experience and strong background working with youth. She continues to use her expertise in academic strategies to make a positive impact in the outcomes of the youth at the Club. In her free time, Heather loves all things family and child centered.
Michelle Thai, Executive Assistant
Michelle was excited to join Boys & Girls Club of Bangor in 2023 after spending years staying at home with her children while they were young and working part time as an administrative assistant. She has a background in Child Development and Family Relations and is excited to combine that with her years of experience as an administrative assistant to be back working in the field she earned an education in and has a passion for. She enjoys efficiency and organization and hopes that those qualities will help all the administrative staff with anything they need to accomplish which in turn will help the program succeed and thrive. In her free time she enjoys attending her kids’ many sporting events and photography.
Grace Hamel, Club Director
Grace started working at the Boys & Girls Club of Bangor as a Junior Counselor in the summer of 2018 and since then has worked her way up the ladder to a Club Director! She is currently working on her Bachelor’s degree in Mental Health and Human Services. Grace loves to work alongside the YDP's to ensure high interest and educational activities for the afterschool youth to continue their school day learning in the safest, most inviting atmosphere possible. As our Club Director, she works hard to ensure the program is a place where all staff and members feel welcome and included.
Bobbie Smith, Office Manager
Bobbie started with the Boys & Girls Club as a volunteer in 2016 and is now our incredibly valuable Office Manager. She brings many strengths with her, including transportation guru, administrative assistant, and a strong desire to see the Club succeed. Bobbie most enjoys working with the Littles because they remind her of when her kids were that age. In her free time, Bobbie enjoys her kitties and spending time with family and friends.
