Meet Our Team

Board of Directors

We cannot inspire, resource and encourage fathers to be more involved in the lives of their children without our board. Formed in 2015, the Good Dads Board of Directors comprises business and nonprofit leaders, educators, healthcare professionals and faith leaders who all have a stake in supporting engaged fatherhood. 

The role of the board is to broadly oversee the nonprofit’s management and direction. Board membership is a voluntary position: Good Dads does not compensate members for their service.
