OVERVIEW
Below you will find an overview of the people God has raised up to lead New Generations. They are broken down into four groups: Our Board, International Leadership, Support Services, and DMM North America.

However, some of our leaders live in, or frequently travel to, security-sensitive regions and so we have chosen not to show their picture or use their full name to protect their identity.
