Susan Sellers is slated to be the new president and chief executive officer of United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) in Vienna, Virginia, effective October 1.
Sellers will join the organization after serving as chief executive officer of UCP Affiliate United Ability in Birmingham, Alabama, where she has led the organization since 2021. An attorney by training, she has more than 25 years of executive leadership experience spanning disability services, healthcare, nonprofit management, education, and public policy.
Before joining United Ability, Sellers led organizations serving children and families, expanded access to healthcare through federally qualified health centers, and secured significant public and private investments to strengthen community-based services.
“Having served as a UCP Affiliate leader, I’ve seen firsthand the extraordinary work happening across our network every day,” Sellers said via a statement. “I believe our greatest strength is the collective expertise, passion, and innovation of our affiliates. I look forward to working alongside our board, staff, affiliate leaders, partners, and the people we serve to strengthen UCP’s voice, expand opportunity, and ensure more people with disabilities can live with independence, choice, and full inclusion in their communities.”
