NO BARRIERS

Fort Collins

News: Pat Murray has been named executive director of No Barriers, a Fort Collins-based organization co-founded by Erik Weihenmayer, who is perhaps best known for being the first blind person to summit Mount Everest.

Murray comes to No Barriers from Washington, where he had leadership roles with the YMCA of Greater Seattle and the Boys & Girls Clubs of King County.

“Pat’s passion for fundraising and working with underserved communities makes him uniquely qualified to serve No Barriers,” Weihenmayer said. “He’s an exceptional people leader and will be an incredible asset to our No Barriers movement.”

Murray assumed his new role on June 5 and will move his family to Colorado in August.

A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Asheville, Murray said he is “Beyond excited to be joining this collective team of leaders and honored by the opportunity to progress the mission of No Barriers.”

About the organization: For 20 years, No Barriers has been dedicated to helping people of all abilities find hope, optimism and resiliency for the future. No Barriers empowers people from all walks of life to overcome obstacles, live a life of purpose and give back to the world.
