The amazing alliance of state pro-family organizations that Family Policy Alliance hosts and serves continues to grow and develop. One of the signs of maturity and impact is the quality of new, young leaders coming into the movement. So far this year, the alliance has welcomed four exceptional leaders into CEO roles. These individuals are accomplished professionals in public policy and nonprofit leadership and serve as faithful followers of Jesus committed to seeing God honored and families strengthened across America.
One of these new leaders is Erik Dellenback (shown above), the President and CEO of Florida Family Voice, which has had a powerful impact in the Sunshine State for more than 20 years. Erik brings a dynamic mix of executive leadership and ministry experience to his new role in Florida. As former Executive Director of Hope Florida and the Governor’s Liaison for Faith and Community under Gov. Ron DeSantis, Erik helped make Florida the most faith-friendly state in the nation.
His earlier leadership at the Tim Tebow Foundation led to the global expansion of “Night to Shine,” which has blessed thousands of people with special needs. He joins us in today’s podcast to discuss pro-family wins in Florida and their impact nationwide.
We’re also excited to introduce three other new leaders in our pro-family movement:
Nate Grasz | Executive Director, Nebraska Family Alliance
Nate is a familiar and trusted voice in Nebraska, where he’s served at the highly esteemed Nebraska Family Alliance (NFA) since 2016. Now in the role of Executive Director, Nate brings both a legislative track record and a shepherd’s heart.
As an attorney and policy director, he played a central role in passing the First Freedom Act, one of the nation’s strongest religious liberty protections, and fought tirelessly to end dismemberment abortion and prevent harmful gender interventions on minors. A popular speaker and author, Nate is passionate about equipping the church to influence culture with grace and truth. As a fifth-generation Nebraskan, his commitment to his home state runs deep.
Peter Gentala | President, Center for Arizona Policy
Peter rejoined the Center for Arizona Policy (CAP) as President after decades of legal and legislative service. From arguing constitutional cases before the U.S. Supreme Court to defending abused children and trafficking victims, Peter has consistently used his legal expertise to serve the vulnerable and uphold justice.
His background as General Counsel for the Arizona House of Representatives and work at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation demonstrates an enduring commitment to truth and compassion. With Peter at the helm, CAP is poised to continue its incredible run of leadership for Arizona families.
Nick Adolphsen | Executive Director, Christian Civic League of Maine
Nick brings experienced vitality to the already impactful Christian Civic League of Maine. Originally a carpenter by trade, Nick has never lost his appreciation for hard work and humility, values that now fuel his efforts to serve Maine families.
As a former senior health policy advisor to Gov. Paul LePage and a national policy advocate, Nick knows the inner workings of both state and federal government. In his new role, he is committed to mobilizing churches, defending life, and restoring liberty in one of the Northeast’s battleground states.
Please join us in prayer for Erik, Nate, Peter, and Nick as they begin this new chapter in their ministries and in ours.
