"Going the Distance"
Join FTF for the 13th annual Fall Banquet on Thursday, September 16th at the Chattanooga Convention Center. This year's guest speaker is Carey Casey, best-selling author and CEO of the National Center for Fathering.

In 2009, Casey was asked to serve on the White House Task Force on Fatherhood and Healthy Families. He also serves as a member of the National Fatherhood Leaders Group, which promotes responsible fatherhood policy, research, advocacy and practice.
