Wilton’s Erik Kaeyer Named President of Northern Westchester Boys & Girls Club

Wilton resident Erik Kaeyer was elected board president of the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester (BGCNW). He began his two-year term on July 1.

Kaeyer is vice president and a design principal at KG&D Architects, a Mount Kisco-based architectural firm, where he leads the design team for award-winning projects, including Seven Bridges Middle School in Chappaqua. He is a graduate of Cornell University School of Architecture and lives in Wilton with his wife, Gillian, and three children.

“My professional focus is on the buildings and campuses that strengthen the communities in which we live and work,” Kaeyer said. “At BGCNW, we are similarly aligned, focusing on developing children into confident, passionate participators in the same communities. The roles are complimentary.”

Kaeyer said he is especially proud of his involvement with the creation of the Kids Café at the Club. “Since the café opened in 2008, it has provided over a half million meals, many of which have been served to children who would otherwise have limited access to a nutritious dinner,” Kaeyer said. “I am excited at the prospect of collaborating with local and regional leadership and other organizations to create meaningful partnerships that collectively share in each other’s successes and ultimately make for a better environment here in Northern Westchester.”

The new Club leadership is focused on implementing new volunteer and community engagement opportunities at BGCNW and leveraging Club assets to provide increased benefits to Club members.
