Arthur M. Blank, Atlanta Falcons owner and chairman, today announced the addition of four new limited partners to the organization's ownership group following approval from the NFL's full ownership at league meetings in Nashville. The new limited partners, pending final closing of the agreements, are Rosalind Brewer, Dominique Dawes, Will Packer and Rashaun Williams.
They join the current group of limited partners that includes Brian Barker, Ron Canakaris, Warrick Dunn, Doug Hertz, Alan Kestenbaum, Edward Mendel and Derek Smith.
Brewer, Dawes, Packer and Williams have made their marks in corporate business, athletics, entertainment, and finance. Each brings keen business acumen, leadership and perspectives that will enhance the ownership group in a variety of ways. Brewer has served as an associate director on the board of the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation since 2016 and will continue in that role.
"Roz, Dominique, Will and Rashaun are impressive leaders who have made an impact in a variety of enterprises, while also building histories of success making a difference in the world around them and positively impacting people in ways that align very well with our Core Values," said Blank. "Each brings unique talent, experience and perspective to our ownership group so I'm excited to have them on board as limited partners and to tapping their vast expertise in finding ways to continue building the Atlanta Falcons and making an even bigger difference in our community."
New limited partners for any team in the league are carefully vetted by the team, league office and the NFL's Finance Committee, before being advanced to a full vote of the NFL's 32 owners. The vote on the Atlanta Falcons' new LPs occurred today in Nashville and they are approved effective immediately.
