ZIONSVILLE, INDIANA (August 1, 2022) – ILADD, Inc. announced today that Matthew Fultz has been appointed as its new Executive Director. Fultz brings over a decade of experience working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to his new role, including service as a nonprofit executive.

Fultz served for over seven years as the Coordinator of Career Services for Outside the Box, Inc., an Indianapolis nonprofit serving individuals with IDD, before being appointed as its Executive Director in April 2019. Prior to his work at Outside the Box, he was a Revenue Officer for the Internal Revenue Service and an Intelligence Analyst for the United States Air Force.

ILADD recently launched a Self-Advocates Group. ILADD also offers informational seminars and networking opportunities for self-advocates, families, guardians, caregivers, and the public.
“We are very excited to have Matt join our ILADD Team,” said Tom Easterday, President of ILADD. “His extensive nonprofit management experience, many years of working with individuals with IDD and his passion for serving those with disabilities make him the ideal candidate to help further expand ILADD’s programs and oversee our efforts to provide a neuro-diverse housing community and promote full inclusion of adults with IDD in our society.”
