Portrait photograph of Dr. Clayton R. Myers. Clayton Myers grew up involved in the Camden (N.J.) YMCA. After completing service in the Navy during World War II, he enrolled at Springfield College and eventually earned his Ph.D. at Ohio State University. He worked in youth and fitness program positions at YMCAs in New York City, Jamestown, N.Y. and at YMCA of the Oranges (N.J.).

He organized two YMCA Cardiovascular Health Consultations attended by experts from around the world. Myers was honored with the Roberts-Gulick Award, the Paul Dudley White Award for Physical Fitness Leadership, and the YMCA of the USA Healthy Lifestyle Exemplary Leadership Award.
