Geoff Crawford - Project Co-ordinator
 Geoff was born in 1953 with a genetic eye condition called ocular albinism. He has three grown up children and one grand daughter. He has worked on the factory floor right through to senior management positions in the commercial world and for the past 11 years worked in the Not for Profit sector managing a factory for people who are blind or have low vision. The major focus of this factory was to create employment opportunities for people with a disability, particularly people who are blind or have low vision. Many of the staff had multiple disabilities and the barriers for employment are very high. Geoff has a bachelor of Engineering (Production) and has worked in a wide range roles.
Geoff has a passion for helping others with a disability improve their quality of life, particularly focusing on the area of obtaining employment, He has a “can do” attitude towards any challenge and always focuses on the ability, not the disability.
His current role is to co-ordinate the wide range of skills and resources of people currently involved with ADDE to undertake a number of key projects over the coming year to ensure the growth and sustainability of
ADDE.
