We’re thrilled to share that three outstanding members of the Options For All Board of Directors have been recognized by the San Diego Business Journal as 2025 Nonprofit Leaders of Influence! 🎉
While the full article is behind a paywall, we couldn’t miss the chance to highlight these leaders’ incredible impact—not just in their careers but also in our community.
🌱 Theresa Carroll
Our newly elected Board Chair, Theresa Carroll, is a powerhouse in the clean energy sector and a long-time advocate for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Her strategic leadership, committee service, and passion for progress have helped shape Options For All’s future. We’re honored to have her vision leading the way.
💼 Ryan Bowcott
A six-year board veteran, Ryan has brought lasting financial literacy and funding support to OFA through his work with Comerica Bank. His dedication to empowering our clients and staff is unmatched, and we’re proud to welcome him back for another term of impact and advocacy.
🎢 Diane DeRudder
Diane has helped turn inclusion into action at LEGOLAND California, launching the very first Project Search program in partnership with OFA. Her leadership on the board—and her deep commitment to creating meaningful employment opportunities for adults with IDD—continues to inspire change across industries.
To Theresa, Ryan, and Diane—thank you. Your service, passion, and leadership embody the mission of Options For All, and we’re so proud to have you as part of our story. 💙
