We’re proud to announce Matt Castelluccio as the CEO of United Spinal Association! Matt brings both leadership experience and lived perspective to this role as we continue supporting and empowering wheelchair users.

He says the strength of United Spinal has always been its community of members and chapters and that community is where the organization will focus. “I don’t care what’s at the end of my signature line — my role is to bring everybody to the table to be able to voice their opinions about our organization and to make sure those voices inform the growth and development of United Spinal. We exist because of our chapters and members, and I don’t ever want to lose sight of that.”
