working on non-profit status

We have been mostly quiet here at Why Not Fathers.  Rest assured things have been busy.

Currently we are working on incorporating Why Not Fathers as a non-profit.  We are hoping that this will open up opportunities for speaking and further engagement.

Potential speaking engagements include the following topics:
fatherhood
adoption – both as a parent and as a child
autism
reactive attachment disorder
autoimmune disorders – Lupus.
advocacy
stay at home dad
using social media to connect with others who are experiencing similar events
disability and you
taking care of your own mental health
working with the school to achieve a middle ground

I am sure that there are other topics that aren’t mentioned here, so please don’t take this list to be all inclusive

 

Causal Leadership Summit

Last week, I was blessed with the opportunity to attend a seminar called “Summit on Causal Leadership.”

It was an incredible experience to be in a setting with agencies, both state and non-profit, talking about leadership.  Not just any type of leadership, but leadership that helps achieve goals for kids with special healthcare needs.

I left the meeting on Thursday with a full head of steam and a lot of ideas.  Friday’s session cemented my goals.

I plan to apply for non-profit status for “Why Not Fathers”.

I plan to develop some brochures and offer my abilities to speak to differing groups of people about fatherhood.

What it takes to be a father, how to keep a marriage alive, staying involved in the lives of our kids.

See, I have this belief.  This belief that “parenthood is a lifestyle choice.”  More on that concept at another time.

For now, one step at a time.

I am looking for speaking opportunities.  I am also looking for guest bloggers.

Fathers need to be seen as more than just a father.  We need to exemplify leadership qualities for our families.  Sure, I am the leader of my family, and I have my wife’s permission to say so.  I am speaking at a deeper level than that.

Being a dad is about more than just donating sperm.  It is about more than being the disciplinarian in the family.

I look forward to the challenge.  How can I help you?  By helping you, I am also helping myself.
