The appointment of these directors follows the launch of 11 new chapters over the past 12 months, bringing the total to 58 active locations. Board Chairman Dr. Chip Roper emphasized that the additions, which span Gen X, Millennial, and Boomer perspectives, are essential to understanding the evolving needs of men regarding fatherhood and family commitments. By incorporating leaders from finance, talent advisory, and global ministry, the organization aims to refine its strategy ahead of the 2027 National Retreat in Nashville.
New board members include Benjamin Grizzle of Goldman Sachs, ZRG Partners CEO Larry Hartmann, Compass realtor Brian Cournoyer, former Federal Bureau of Prisons chaplain Christopher Houston, and Palau CEO Kevin Palau. President and CEO James J. Ackerman, who took the helm in July 2025, noted that these high-caliber leaders are critical to maintaining the momentum of the movement. As the group prepares for the upcoming retreat scheduled for March 5-7 at the Grand Hyatt Nashville, the leadership shift signals a push toward modernization through digital initiatives and a more diverse governance structure.
