“Jodie has gone above and beyond in her service to the SDA New York Chapter, demonstrating exceptional dedication through her work on the Data Management Committee and her willingness to step into the Board Secretary role mid-year in 2025. She quickly emerged as a trusted leader whose thoughtful input, proactive approach, and consistent follow‑through have made her an invaluable asset to the chapter.
Her leadership has already had a measurable impact, most notably in spearheading the reinstatement of the chapter’s IRS and exempt status, a complex undertaking that she has approached with remarkable grace, diligence, and determination.
Jodie continues to play an instrumental role in advancing the mission of SDA, and her colleagues are genuinely excited to work alongside someone making such a meaningful difference.” SDA New York Chapter Board of Directors

What makes her stand out is not just what she does, but how she does it – with kindness, patience, and a steady professionalism that makes others feel supported. She is the person people turn to because they know she will follow through, communicate clearly, and make the experience better for everyone involved – and we found her through the SDA New York Chapter!” Diana Diaz, Vice President of Business Operations and Human Resources, Stark Engineering
