The decision was made following approval from the NFL's full ownership at league meetings in Nashville.

The new limited partners, pending final closing of the agreements, are Rosalind Brewer, Dominique Dawes, Will Packer, and Rashaun Williams. This expansion brings a diverse range of talents and experiences to the Falcons' ownership group, with each new partner making significant contributions to their respective fields.

Rosalind Brewer, an influential corporate executive, has been involved with the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation as an associate director since 2016. Dominique Dawes, a three-time Olympic gymnast and successful businesswoman, has been a prominent advocate for physical and mental health. Will Packer, a renowned filmmaker, has produced numerous successful movies and television shows, and is known for his commitment to diversity in the entertainment industry. Rashaun Williams, a venture capitalist and financial literacy activist, has a track record of successful investments and a passion for empowering underserved communities.

Arthur M. Blank, the owner and chairman of the Atlanta Falcons, expressed his excitement about the new limited partners. He praised their leadership, talent, and diverse perspectives, stating that their addition would further enhance the ownership group and contribute to the team's continued success.

The selection of new limited partners for any NFL team involves careful vetting by the team, league office, and the NFL's Finance Committee. Following the approval of the NFL's 32 owners, the Atlanta Falcons' new limited partners were officially approved, effective immediately.

In statements provided by the new limited partners themselves, they expressed their gratitude for the opportunity and their commitment to making a difference both on and off the field. Rosalind Brewer highlighted Arthur Blank's impact on Atlanta and expressed her dedication to championing the Falcons' successes. Dominique Dawes discussed the significance of being an African American woman in an ownership role, hoping that her influence would extend beyond the NFL community. Will Packer emphasized the importance of representation, equity, and breaking barriers, while Rashaun Williams expressed his belief in the potential of the Falcons and the city of Atlanta.

These new limited partners join an already impressive group, which includes Brian Barker, Ron Canakaris, Warrick Dunn, Doug Hertz, Alan Kestenbaum, Edward Mendel, and Derek Smith.

The Atlanta Falcons' decision to add these four accomplished individuals to their ownership group is a reflection of their commitment to excellence on and off the field. With their unique talents and experiences, the team is set to benefit from their contributions as they work towards continued success and community impact.
