MANAGEMENT

CEO/Executive Director

Mr. Brett Ackerman

CEO/Executive Director Experience

Brett Ackerman's Bio: I have spent over 25 years living and working in Fullerton.  Over the years I was fortunate enough to be exposed to many diverse groups, activities and experiences.  As a manager, my priorities are to empower staff to set and achieve goals, to provide support and resources necessary for them to develop and be successful, and to model professional behavior. At multiple locations within the same financial institution, I developed and managed complex sales & service teams that produced top tier proven results. My role and responsibilities in the financial sector were very similar to those of a CEO. While much of my experience has been in the business world, I understand the social value of the non-profit sector and my financial experience is an asset to our organization.  For 6 years I was fortunate to serve on the Clubs Board of Directors. My tenure was thoroughly enjoyable and allowed me to use my contacts to benefit the Club in fundraising and community efforts. Having served on the Board gave me special insights and knowledge as to the attributes to make a successful CEO. Also it gave me the opportunity to work with other like-minded Board members and community supporters of the Club. My experiences on the Board along with my personal ambition to make a lasting difference were the driving factors behind my desire for this position. The relationships and contacts I have formed within Fullerton Elementary School & High School Districts, Fullerton Chamber of Commerce, the donor community, local and regional political leaders, the City of Fullerton, and Fullerton service clubs have put me in a position to maximize them for the benefit of the Club. But the ability to work in an environment where I can excel, with an excellent staff team, to improve the lives of children on a daily basis will be the reason for our success.
