The United Disabilities Services (UDS) Foundation has announced a planned leadership transition as part of a strategic move to ensure the continued success and sustainability of the organization.

After 15 years of service as the director of development, Larry Aubrey will step down and move into a part-time position as the donor relations and partnerships specialist. In his current position, Aubrey has developed and grown the organization's fundraising and development program. In his new role, he will continue to utilize his strengths as he cultivates new and existing donor relationships while engaging and retaining sponsors.

Stepping in as his successor will be Teresa Rineer, who has been on the UDS Foundation's Accessing Independence Board since April 2023 and served as the major gifts officer. She comes to her new role with organizational skills, a goal-oriented focus, and previous experience as the development director with the WellSpan Ephrata Community Health Foundation.

As director of development, Rineer will drive the organization's financial sustainability by leading the strategic design and execution of comprehensive fundraising initiatives. By cultivating and strengthening relationships with key stakeholders, including senior leadership, board members, and major donors, she will seek to secure important resources for the UDS Foundation's 14 programs that provide care and services for older adults and people with disabilities.
