Community Options, a leading national nonprofit supporting people with disabilities headquartered on Farber Road in West Windsor, has announced the promotion of Tracy Mendola to vice president of New Jersey.
Mendola previously served as state director for Northern New Jersey and has more than 25 years of experience. In her new role, she will provide strategic oversight of Community Options’ New Jersey programs that support more than 1,200 people with disabilities across the state.

Since joining Community Options in 2013, Mendola has played a key role in program growth, quality assurance, advocacy and operational leadership. She has overseen large, multi-county operations, ensured regulatory compliance, managed complex budgets and supported teams dedicated to delivering high-quality, person-centered services.
“I am honored to step into this role and continue working alongside our teams to support people with disabilities across New Jersey,” Mendola said. “Community Options has always been about opportunity, dignity and inclusion and I look forward to building on that mission in this next chapter.”
