The Arc of Central Alabama serves people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in J

The Arc of Central Alabama has been providing services to over 800 children and adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities since 1953. Our goal is to ensure that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) live their most independent lives possible. All donations to The Arc go directly to the five programs we offer: Employment Placement, Community Day Services, Early Intervention, Residential Services, and advocating for the IDD community at the state and national level.

We’re thrilled to announce that our Vice President of Behavior Support, Dr. Erich Grommet, has been elected President-Elect of the Alabama Association for Behavior Analysis(ALABA)! 🎉

In this statewide leadership role, Erich will serve on the Executive Committee from 2026–2028, helping shape the future of behavior analysis in Alabama. He will champion professional development, elevate best practices, and advance high-quality behavioral services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Earlier this year, Dallas sat down with the Alabama ABLE Savings Plan to talk about how this program helps individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities save for the future without risking their benefits.

Dallas has been a vital part of our accounting team for the past six years, bringing passion, dedication, and heart to everything he does. He plays a key role in supporting the financial needs of the people we serve — and truly embodies what it means to be part of The Arc family.

🎥 Watch the video to learn more about how ABLE empowers financial independence.

Congratulations to Dallas Vice! Dallas has been honored with The Arc of the U.S.’s NCE Rising Star Award! 🎉

These awards honor individuals who exemplify professional excellence and make meaningful contributions to the intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) community. The Rising Star Award celebrates emerging leaders in their first five years of senior leadership within The Arc’s chapter network who are already making a profound impact.

As the Financial Controller at The Arc of Central Alabama, Dallas oversees all accounting operations, leads key financial and business strategies, and ensures accurate, timely reporting for the organization. Since joining The Arc in 2020, he has advanced through several leadership roles and now oversees six HUD entities and representative payee services for more than 200 individuals — directly supporting The Arc’s mission of person-centered support with excellence and integrity.

In 2022, Dallas was recognized by the Birmingham Business Journal as a NextGen: Money honoree, which highlighted up-and-coming financial leaders shaping Birmingham’s business community. He has also partnered with the Alabama ABLE Savings Plan, helping raise awareness about tools that promote long-term financial security for people with disabilities and their families.

“My goal is to positively affect the lives of those around me and to foster an environment that promotes the well-being of every individual within it.” — Dallas Vice
