Susan Bouchard-Young
Executive Director
Ms. Bouchard-Young is an original incorporator of IDDI. Educated at the State University of New York in Oswego, she sharpened her administration and management skills at Yokota Air Base in Japan where she helped establish and maintain information systems for the Office of Management and Budget at the base. In 1977, Ms. Bouchard-Young joined the fiscal services department at IDDI's predecessor, Crystal Springs School, Inc., where her skill and experience greatly improved that organization's fiscal and business management and facilitated transition to the new corporate entity, IDDI. As Managing Director, Ms. Bouchard-Young oversees and directs the work of agency-wide and program-specific senior managers. She reviews and approves all new or changed policies; manages regulatory and fiscal compliance; and is principal liaison between IDDI's Board of Directors, CEO and staff. In collaboration with the Board and CEO, she approves all major program development and capital expenditures that will enhance services and supports. Ms. Bouchard-Young is directly available to the parents and guardians of all IDDI residents to discuss ideas, hear concerns, or simply to speak about an individual's progress. |
