About Derek Phillips

The Real Dads® Network was created to help strengthen fathers and families. It is our belief that children do better, both developmentally and in attainment of life opportunities, when both parents are actively involved in their parenting, regardless of the marital or living circumstances. It is also our belief that healthy, functional black families create stronger communities and a stronger, more resilient society. Our vision is to create a culture where all fathers are actively involved in the parenting process, and are portrayed and viewed as exemplary role models by society Real Dads® Network Events- Monthly Real Dads® Club meetings - Annual Daddy Daughter Dance (Father's Day Weekend)- Annual Celebration of Real Dads’ Week - Annual Real Dads® Scholarship and Awards Dinner - Fatherhood workshops Real Dads® Network members receive the following benefits- Monthly Real Dads e-newsletter - Access to Ask The Experts (up to a $125 consultation value, per question)- Access to video webinars (up to a $15 value per webinar)- Access to member-only web links and resources - 10% discounts on RDN event admission - 10% discounts on RDN merchandise - Preferred seating at select RDN events - Participation in giveaways, contests and raffles (up to a $50 value)- Most RDN purchases are tax-deductible as charitable donations - Investment in the premier organization that is increasing the number of involved fathers
