Ex-Officio Board Member
Chuck and Reneé Hinson serve as Ex-Officio members of the National Board of Directors. They served as members of the Board from 2017-2021 after having previously served in their “pre-K” years (pre-kids) in the mid-90’s. Chuck and Reneé have been married since January of 1984 and were introduced to marriage enrichment through the newlywed program during the summer of that first year of marriage. Something clicked that summer and they are now Lifetime Members, remaining active as Marriage Enrichment Group (MEG) and conference leaders ever since that early taste of marriage enrichment.
Reneé served on the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors and Chuck served as Chair of the Finance Committee and continues to serve as Chair of the Trustees.
Reneé is a retired assistant professor in the Department of Neurology and Director of Psychology Services for Rehabilitation at the Bowman Gray Medical School of Wake Forest University. She left the academic world to serve as the Executive Director of Better Marriages from 2002-2008. She returned to the classroom, teaching psychology at Salem College, and Forsyth Technical Community College until recently devoting herself to full-time private practice, focusing on psychological testing of children, adolescents, and adults and psychotherapy with adults.
Chuck enjoys working in Information Technology at Lincoln Financial Group and mentoring the kids in the youth group at Knollwood Baptist Church, frisbee and Wake Forest sports teams. Both he and Renee are enjoying this parenting stage with their young adult children, Olivia and Chase.
Chuck and Reneé were honored by the National Board of Directors in 2012 with the Distinguished Service Award and in 2021 with the Special Recognition Award for their outstanding service to Better Marriages and the field of Marriage Enrichment.
