Executive DirectorBoard of DirectorsExecutive Director Administrative Director Medical Board Contact Us With a professional life committed to the non-profit sector, J. Thomas (Tom) Viall is a leader, a communicator, a fund raiser, and a doer. Much of his management style is summed up by the phrase with which he signs all his e-mail, Please remember this, it is rarely, if ever “I,” and almost always “we.” He recently finished a 6 month consultancy with Workplace Fairness where he led an organizational effort to create a “Workplace Bill of Rights.” Previously, Tom served as the CEO/Executive Director of the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF), in Pittsburgh, PA. He went to UMDF after having served almost ten years as the Executive Director of The International Dyslexia Association (IDA). In his ten years with the organization, Mr. Viall helped to broaden IDA from a relatively small professional society to one that was focused on the comprehensive concerns and needs of individuals with dyslexia. During his tenure, membership in IDA grew by nearly 60%, its financial support doubled, and a new international structure welcomed “National Affiliates” into the Association. With support from an all-volunteer Board of Directors, Mr. Viall led IDA toward increased advocacy and legislative activity. Previously, Mr. Viall served as the Executive Director of The International College of Surgeons (ICS), in Chicago, IL and as Executive Director of the Sister City Program, Office of the Mayor of New York, during the Koch administration. Mr. Viall has also done fundraising work for Save the Children and Thirteen/WNET (NYC’s major public television station). Mr. Viall holds a B.A. and M.A. from Fairleigh Dickinson University (NJ) and has done doctoral work at Columbia University (NYC). He taught in public and private schools from elementary grade levels through university and has tutored emotionally disturbed and learning disabled youth. Mr. Viall is married to Linda S. Stricker (also a senior executive in the non-profit sector), has two talented daughters by a previous marriage, and lives in New Market, MD. Interests include golf, tennis, gardening, and an admitted obsession with the writings of Carl Hiaasen.
