All About Developmental Disabilities Boosts Board with Stephen Fodroczi

All About Developmental Disabilities (AADD), Georgia’s preeminent provider of support services for families living with developmental disabilities, has added executive Stephen Fodroczi to its Board of Directors and as chairman of the IT Committee. The nonprofit (www.aadd.org) also appointed education consultant/academic coach Rachael Barron and attorney Kedrick Eily to its board.

Fodroczi’s involvement with developmental disabilities began when his younger brother, Scott, lost oxygen at birth, resulting in irreversible brain damage and developmental disabilities. Inspired by his brother’s “can-do” attitude, he began volunteering for the Special Olympics at an early age, a relationship he has continued his entire life.

“We’re excited about the experience, passion and perspective Steve Fodroczi brings to the table for AADD,” said AADD Board President Judith Moen Stanley. “He brings the skills and dedication we need to support Georgians with developmental disabilities.”

Fodroczi works for Verizon Enterprise Solutions as Solutions Executive, Security, where he is responsible for security sales in the Southeast. Before joining Verizon, he worked for RSA (a division of EMC) as a solutions principal.

He spent 25 years at IBM in sales, management and headquarters staff roles. While at IBM, Fodroczi served as the Chairman of the Material-Logistics Committee and was also on loan to the games as coordinator for donated servers and other equipment for the 1987 International Summer Special Olympics. He also served as the Aquatics Scoring Supervisor for the 1991 International Summer Special Olympics and as the IBM Executive liaison for the 2003 International Summer Games.

Fodroczi received his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management from Indiana University. He worked toward a Master of Business Administration degree at Western Michigan University and a Master of Science in Supply Chain Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. He lives in Marietta, Georgia.

Founded in 1956, All About Developmental Disabilities (AADD) is an Atlanta-based non-profit organization dedicated to providing family support, advocacy and training opportunities for individuals and families living with developmental disabilities.

Developmental disabilities are defined as severe chronic intellectual and/or physical disabilities that limit three or more critical functional abilities. Examples include Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, autism disorders, fetal alcohol disorders and intellectual disabilities. These disabilities manifest early in life (before age 22) and last a lifetime.
