“The Board Of Directors” – Jabari Price, Michael Holoman, and Gerard Droze – Click on photo to enlargeThe Makings Of A Man
Often the things required to be considered a man—in the truest sense of the word—are passed down from generation to generation, from man to man, by word of mouth or example. In “The Makings of a Man”, Jabari Price, Michael Holoman, and O. Gerard Droze set out to not only put these things in writing, but to deconstruct society’s image of a man and explore the reasons behind why characteristics such as planning, communication, checks and balances, leadership, the ability to face life’s storms, and consistency are so vitally important to the fully developed man. Whether you’re 25 or 95, every male must evaluate himself to be sure he’s exhibiting “The Makings of a Man”.
In 2006, Jabari Price, Michael Holoman, and Gerard Droze, employed by the same company, became close friends over regular lunch conversations. The 3 young men frequently found their conversations gravitating towards one particular topic: manhood. In those discussions a variety of topics related to manhood were talked about, ranging from their personal daily experiences, to in depth analysis about the impact of the men in their lives.
In early 2009, the three friends began to feel as if they were together for a special reason and began to explore the ways that they could work together to fulfill the purpose of their meeting. After some discussion, they settled on the idea to write a book about the one topic that was near and dear to all their hearts: manhood.
In August of 2009 they began the process of writing their book, “The Makings of a Man”. During the writing process, they regularly attended the Power Lunch services at The Meeting Place Church International in Columbia, South Carolina. After the services they would often sit around the lunch table to discuss the progress of the book and to catch up with each other. Because of their business-like demeanor and dress, one of the frequent Power Lunch attendees nicknamed them “The Board of Directors”. The guys liked the name so much that they decided to use it as their group name.
In 2010, Jabari, Michael, and Gerard formally founded The Board of Directors, LLC, an organization dedicated to nurturing the development of manhood throughout society via mentorship and personal accountability. Their debut book, “The Makings of a Man” hit shelves in November of 2010. Since then, the guys have appeared in numerous television and radio interviews and have been guest speakers at several events. They’ve also started a mentoring program at WG Sanders Middle School, working with boys in grades 6-8, and have a weekly radio segment on Speaking With Carl Thornton, Jr. on WTHB 1550AM in Augusta, SC as well. As of early 2012, they have begun writing their second book with an expected release date of late 2012/early 2013.
The Board of Directors look forward to touching the lives of men across the world with their message that manhood in its truest form is attainable for all that wish to have “The Makings of a Man”!
Tonight live at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST, Jabari, Michael, and Gerard will be on our show live talking about “The Makings of a Man” and manhood.
