Beth Malanoski

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

When the opportunity to become Executive Director at The Exceptional Foundation of Atlanta came about, Beth knew it was a chance to bring together her skills and experience with a cause deeply rooted in her life. Beth and her husband have three children. John, their middle child, and heart of the family, has autism and recently aged out of public schools at age 22. Beth and her family are living the aging out experience that EFAtl seeks to remedy.

Beth has 35 years of corporate and non-profit experience building communities, connecting people with available resources, and developing and implementing programs and events. Most recently, she was the Director of Calvin Cove Adult Respite Care, a day program for fragile elderly, and a place where members of EFAtl volunteer.

Susan Keeney

PROGRAM DIRECTOR & CO-FOUNDER

Susan was a special education teacher for 22 years in Gwinnett County Public Schools. She spent 17 years teaching in elementary school special education classrooms and four years teaching life skills to post-high school young adults. Susan received her undergrad from the University of Georgia and later a Master’s from Grand Canyon University. Outside of work, Susan loves to spend time with her family, traveling, and participating in volunteer activities such as Grayson Athletic Association Special Populations program, leading a Special Needs ministry at 12 Stone Church, and serving as a Girl Scout leader.
