Irvine, CA (July 11, 2025)  The Autism Community in Action (TACA), a nonprofit dedicated to providing education, support, and hope to families living with autism, has restructured its team to support continued community engagement and program impact.   

Building on the new TACA 2.0 strategy plan, the new measures will align staff, goals, and objectives to grow the organization to support significantly more families, with new digital offerings and programs to launch over the next two years.  

“This is a difficult but essential transition to deliver for our community and families for the next 25 years,” said Lisa Ackerman, Executive Director of TACA. “Our staff and volunteers are the heart of our work, and we are profoundly grateful for their service and commitment to our community.” 

TACA remains committed to delivering and expanding core programs and services, including its annual National Autism Conference in October. The organization has a 3-year strategy focused on increasing earned revenue, expanding its reach to more families, and organizational durability. They are confident that continuing to align all operations and staff to this strategy will improve the organization’s ability to deliver on these goals. 

“Now more than ever, we need the support of our donors, partners, and community,” added Bill Oldham, TACA’s Board Chairman. “Your contributions directly sustain our ability to serve those who count on us every day.”
