Description
Portrait photograph of Edmund R. Tomb. Edmund R. Tomb started his 43-year career in the Monmouth County (N.J.) YMCA. Like many other YMCA professionals, he traveled and worked at several YMCAs in his career.
He started two YMCA camps that have grown and flourished to become among the most recognized Y camps in the country: Camp Speers-Eljabar in Pennsylvania and Frost Valley YMCA in New York’s Catskill region. Tomb was also active on the national level, recruiting many YMCA volunteers who became national leaders.
He promoted the development of YMCAs in Puerto Rico, vigorously supported the growth of the YMCAs Youth and Government programs, and gave leadership to interracial activities. For the last 23 years of his career until his retirement in 1967, Tomb served as the executive of the Central Atlantic Council.
