Nan Dale was the first women President/CEO at two legendary child welfare agencies, The Wiltwyck School for Boys and The Children's Village, spending nearly 30 years working to improve foster care for thousands of vulnerable children and families. At CV, she promoted intensive family support programs, founded the Institute for Child Welfare Research and pioneered the WAY Program, one of the nation's first comprehensive initiatives for youth transitioning from foster care to adulthood. Recognized as a leader in her field, her peers chose her to represent them for nearly a decade on the board of The Child Welfare League of America. Later in her career, she led Action Against Hunger, an international public health agency dedicated to reducing world hunger, reaching millions annually. Her work at The Children's Village has been featured in The New York Times, NPR America and The World, The International Herald Tribune, The Atlantic Monthly, BS Bill Moyers Journal, Citizen's Committee for Children and a Child Welfare League of America's publication on "What Works" in child welfare. Aron Myers spent his adolescence at The Children's Village in New York. Years later, he returned to the agency that had raised him, this time as a clinical social worker. Earlier in his career, he lived and worked with adults with developmental disabilities in an ecumenical community while completing his master's degree at Case Western University.

After returning to work at The Children's Village, he soon became a Division Director, managing all the agency's community-based, family-support programs, the Runaway and Homeless Youth program, and Supervised Independent Living apartments for youth transitioning to adulthood from foster care. This journey--from youth in care to senior administrator--gave him a unique perspective on meeting the needs of highly vulnerable children and families. Currently, Myers is Chief Leadership Strategist and Principal at A-Game Leadership Group, where he coaches leaders and organizations across the country, drawing on both his lived experience in foster care and 25 years as a senior nonprofit executive.
