SDEF is delighted to announce the promotion of Susan Grasekamp, Manager, to the position of Chief Executive Officer of the organisation. Susan has worked for SDEF for just over 2 years, and took on the position of Manager in August of last year.

Previous to taking up this position, Susan worked across the private, public and voluntary sector in mental health, social enterprise and health care. Having run a fully self-funded charity in the past, Susan is working with the team towards reducing barriers to equality for disabled people whilst identifying sustainable opportunities for groups and access panels which promote disability equality and Independent Living.
We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Susan on her promotion and look forward to a continued positive working relationship.
