Bussey, Michael
Person
Biographical Note
Throughout his work with the Y, Michael Bussey showed that rather than pursuing a career, he pursued a calling. Bussey’s work goes beyond the Y and into the global pursuit of peace. The beginning of Bussey’s journey with the YMCA begins at Camp Christmas Tree, a day camp operated by the Minneapolis YMCA. As a 15-year-old camp counselor, Bussey dove into the deep end of what the Y had to offer, working to become a full-time program director after completing his college education. Bussey continued to serve the YMCAs of his home state, up until 1990, when he took to the global stage. Bussey served as the director general for the Jerusalem International YMCA from 1990-98, as well from 2008-09. During his tenure, the YMCA was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for its work to build peaceful coexistence in an area divided by ethnic and religious conflict. Bussey’s work goes into his retirement, as he continues to volunteer with passion and care on both the national and international level.
