Chief Compliance Officer
Susan joined Innovative Resources for Independence (IRI) in September 2018, bringing her extensive expertise as a Director of Quality Assurance and Chief Compliance Officer. With over 25 years in the field, Susan has dedicated her career to advocating for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), striving to elevate their quality of life through rigorous, compassionate oversight.

Driven by her personal experience as a mother of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Susan’s commitment to her role at IRI goes beyond professional duty. She approaches every program, service, and support evaluation not only through the lens of regulatory requirements but with the perspective and expectations she holds as a parent. This personal connection fuels her commitment to ensuring that every individual supported by IRI receives the dignity, care, and opportunity she seeks for her son.
Throughout her tenure at IRI, Susan has spearheaded the development of quality improvement policies and established new standards that align with the organization’s vision. Her leadership has moved IRI beyond mere regulatory compliance, fostering a culture where quality is measured by meaningful, personalized outcomes for each individual. Under her guidance, IRI’s commitment to quality reflects its mission of respect, dignity, and opportunity for all, empowering everyone to pursue a life that aligns with their dreams and aspirations.
