It is all about NCFM’s 40th Anniversary Celebration (NCFM40AC)! We are honoring four decades of work by our volunteers, members at large, board members, advisers and award winners all of whom have worked and continue to work diligently toward making the world a better place for all of us.

Become an NCFM donor, member or renew your membership. Registration is dependent upon information in established online NCFM member or donor accounts, respectively; hence, you have to be a member in good standing or have a donor account to register for NCFM40AC. Memberships and renewals are a minimum of $35 per year, and a $1 donation or more establishes a Donor account.

NCFM40AC includes, among other events, two days of presentations by experts, authors, social-media personalities, movie producers, and other highly accomplished activists, most if not all of whom are NCFM members (see Presenters).

Regardless of mythical stereotypes, men are not, simply because of their sex, necessarily all-powerful, indestructible, and privileged; nor do they have more opportunities, an easier life, or earn more than women. It only takes a few words or a single syllable (“rape”) to destroy any man, young or old and deprive him of his future, freedom, family, finances and health…and even cause his suicide. Learn too about the taboo subject of women who sexually abuse boys, including mother-child sexual assault.

Hear from some of the best-known subject experts and survivors; as well as from others involved with men’s health, men’s life experience, family court, the military, criminal justice, legislation, abuse, activism and a host of other issues, all involving blatant discrimination against boys, men, their families and the women who love them (See Presenters for more information). Learn why innocent until proven guilty has morphed into guilty even after proven innocent.

Most of all, NCFM40AC is a very rare opportunity to mix and mingle with subject experts and old and new friends.

Moreover, NCFM40AC is in almost-always sunny San Diego, California, with warm weather, ocean breezes, sandy beaches and a range of entertainment possibilities. We plan on some fun too, enjoying great food and margaritas, and taking in a few sites.

The four star Best Western Plus Hacienda Hotel is our primary event venue, between Wednesday, September 13 and Saturday, September 16.

Wednesday, September 13

Presentations begin at 9:00 a.m. Lunch provided ($20 optional). In the evening is a meet and mingle mixer with great food, a no-host bar, and panoramic views with extraordinarily enticing margaritas!

Saturday the 16th

is our national board meeting. Initially, the meeting is scheduled to be held in our conference room at our national offices in downtown San Diego.

NCFM members are encouraged to attend but must RSVP when registering online so we can plan space accordingly. Depending on the response, we may have the meeting in a different place, perhaps at the Hacienda Hotel if space is available. The meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. and end no later than 5:00 p.m., earlier if possible.

There will be a dinner after the board meeting at a yet-to-be-determined location starting around 7:00 p.m.. NCFM members may bring one guest to the dinner. The cost is $50 per NCFM member and $50 for one guest.

If possible there will be a showing of Cassie Jaye’s film, The Red Pill on Thursday or Friday evening, followed by a question and answer period with producer Cassie Jaye and several activists in the documentary. If you have not seen the Red Pill we strongly recommend that you watch it before attending NCFM40AC. It’s available at The Red Pill, Amazon, Amazon Prime, Hulu, YouTube, and elsewhere.
