“VersAbility is incredibly fortunate to have such an accomplished group of leaders dedicating their time and talents to our organization and mission,” said Kasia Grzelkowski, President and CEO of the Hampton-based nonprofit.

VersAbility provides comprehensive support for individuals with disabilities at every stage of life, offering workforce training and employment programs, early childhood services, residential support and day programs throughout Hampton Roads and beyond.

Each new board member shares the organization’s vision of creating a more inclusive community and, Grzelkowski said, “their collective expertise will drive innovation and expand opportunities for people with disabilities.”

This announcement comes at a pivotal time as VersAbility prepares to launch its 2030 Strategic Plan, aimed at expanding services, workforce solutions and increasing economic and social inclusion for people with disabilities. “People with disabilities contribute immense value—not only to our hearts and minds but also to our economy,” said Casey Roberts, Executive Vice President of Strategy and Development. “Our vision is to support individuals at every stage of life, from early development through adulthood. Moving forward, we want to ensure that every person who is capable has the opportunity to actively participate in society—whether through employment, independent living or community engagement.”
