Leadership Transition AUCD is appointing a new Executive Director in September 2026, signaling potential organizational shifts, renewed strategic emphasis, and new relationship-building opportunities with funders, policymakers, and partner organizations.

Advocacy Tool The launch of an easy-to-use grassroots action tool in 2025 indicates AUCD’s active engagement with congressional advocacy; a sales angle could focus on expanding digital outreach platforms, training, and data analytics services for advocacy campaigns.

Policy Expertise AUCD operates as a policy and practice network for individuals with disabilities and families, presenting opportunities to offer policy research, evaluation, and compliance solutions to strengthen advocacy and program implementation.

Collaborative Reach Strategic partnerships with Help Me Grow and Community Catalyst demonstrate AUCD’s ecosystem approach; potential partnerships or B2B offerings could target allied networks, training, and shared services across the disability services landscape.

ModerateScale Revenue range of one to ten million and a lean employee base (11-50) suggest a desire for scalable, cost-efficient solutions, such as integrated SaaS, cloud-based collaboration tools, or managed services tailored to small-to-mid sized research and advocacy organizations.
