Announcing the F3 Board of Directors

On behalf of F3, its founders, two former Executive Groups, and its newly-created Shared Leadership Team, it is my honor to introduce the first board of directors in F3’s nine-year history.

As we respectfully and carefully approach this next growth phase, you will see an emphasis in our board members on foundation building, independent oversight and governance, and setting up organizations and their leaders for long-term success.

Response to the request for applications was, in a word, humbling. Dredd, Slaughter, CR, Dark Helmet and I were all honored by the quantity of quality men who want to give their time to the organization.

As noted on Twitter and in many face-to-face and/or phone conversations, this process marks the beginning of many opportunities for F3 and for its PAX. F3 hopes you will continue to reach out if you are able and willing to help, and the organization remains driven by and for the local workout as a gateway to male community leadership — free, open to all men, held outdoors, peer-led, and ending in a CoT.

The new board joins you in doing all we can to make sure F3 remains true to its mission and principles for today’s and generations of future leaders.
