Are You Ready to Take Action?
We need support from people who are diplomatic, articulate, and committed to improving the status of fathers over the long term. If you'd like to get involved, please join our e-mail list and introduce yourself to the group.
About Us:
The mission of the of the National Congress for Fathers and Children, Inc. is to serve as a national organization, to assist state and local efforts compatible with the goal of assisting fathers to remain actively involved in the lives of their children regardless of martial status. We provide a forum to coordinate local efforts to impact national initiatives and to bring national attention to local concerns of our affiliated organizations and members.
As the New Hampshire chapter of NCFC, we welcome all men and women who share our concern for men and fathers to attend our meetings and participate in our activism projects.
Recent News/Events:
As of May 2006, our meetings are now planned and held according to a meeting proposal plan. Michael Geanoulis, President of NCFC-NH, will post an announcement on our e-mail list with a proposed meeting agenda, date, time, and location. If more than five non-executive members promise to show up to that meeting, it will be held. Meeting proposals will be sent out no closer than 48 hours before the potential meeting date. Anyone may request a meeting at any time.
