Practical idea - Engaging dads: "Ambassador dads"

Nurture one or two enthusiastic dads and build up their confidence so they can help develop a larger group. Have a dad monitor: someone alert to regional or national opportunities for reaching out to male parents, such as Fathers Day or sporting tournaments.
