PRESIDENT | NAACP ATL Branch
David Means
Meet Our President
Born in the small town of Tippetteville, Georgia, President David Means embodies the values of hard work, compassion, and unwavering belief in oneself—principles instilled in him by his grandparents and still guiding his leadership today. A lifelong entrepreneur, he launched his first business at 18 and went on to establish multiple corporations and nonprofit organizations dedicated to serving the community.
David joined the Atlanta NAACP in 2006 and quickly emerged as a dynamic leader. As Membership Chair, he created the Atlanta NAACP Membership Honors Luncheon, and later served four years as the Georgia NAACP State Chairman of Criminal Justice. Over his 19 years of service, he has worked alongside many of Georgia’s most influential civil and social justice leaders, always standing firmly for equity and justice.
A world traveler and humanitarian, David has even extended his advocacy across continents—helping to build a church in Bugembe, Uganda and sponsoring more than 100 children who attend the church’s school each year.
Today, as President of the Atlanta NAACP, David’s mission remains clear: to fight for those treated unjustly, to unify our communities, and to strengthen economic empowerment within the Black community. His leadership reflects a deep commitment to justice, service, and the advancement of all people.
