Background

About Tyler Whitney

I’m a mission-driven nonprofit executive with a deep passion for advocacy, accessibility, and helping people live with independence and dignity. As Executive Director of Southern Adirondack Independent Living (SAIL), I lead a dedicated team working to break down barriers and create real, lasting impact across the North Country. I grew up here, and the work we do is personal. It’s rooted in family, community, and the belief that every person — regardless of ability — deserves equal access, opportunity, and respect. From securing critical funding to launching programs that change lives, I bring heart, strategy, and relentless commitment to this work. I’m always looking to connect with others who care about equity, inclusion, and driving systems change. Let’s collaborate. Let’s build. Let’s make independence possible for all.
