WHERE LEADERSHIP MEETS HEART

There are leaders who manage programs, and

then there are leaders who shape the future of

community wellness.

Leda I. Pérez is the latter.

As the Executive Director of the Frank DeLuca

YMCA Family Center in Ocala, Florida, Leda

brings more than 30 years of experience in

health and wellness and nonprofit leadership.

Her lifework has been centered on ensuring

that every person, every family, has access to a

safe place where their bodies are

strengthened, their minds are enriched, and

their spirits are renewed.

What sets Leda apart is her belief that

transformation is not only possible but also

our divine potential. A Licensed Spiritual

Practitioner (RScP) with the Centers for

Spiritual Living, she integrates spiritual

wisdom with practical execution. Her

leadership approach reflects a powerful truth:

“Every single act of service becomes a seed

— one that grows into the future we are

called to create.” Leda Pérez.

From strategic development to wellness

advocacy, Leda uses her gifts to cultivate

spaces where people feel valued, supported,

and seen. Under her guidance, the Frank

DeLuca YMCA continues to expand its impact

across Marion County, prioritizing access,

equity, and a strong sense of belonging.

“Community isn’t a building, it’s the love

we’re willing to show one another.”

— Leda Pérez
