The Autism Community in Action (TACA), a national nonprofit dedicated to providing education, support, and hope to families living with autism, proudly announces the appointment of Manny Khoshbin and Ross Mitchell to its Board of Directors.
Both Khoshbin and Mitchell have been longtime champions of TACA’s mission, previously serving as TACA Ambassadors and lending their leadership, expertise, and advocacy to advance support for families nationwide.
“For many years, Manny and Ross have been deeply committed advocates for TACA and the families we serve,” said Lisa Ackerman, co-founder and Executive Director of TACA. “We are honored to welcome them to our Board of Directors as we continue to expand our national reach, strengthen organizational capacity, and responsibly integrate innovation, including emerging technologies, into how we serve families on the autism journey.”
Manny Khoshbin is a renowned entrepreneur and investor who launched his first business at the age of 18 while still in high school. Shortly thereafter, he obtained his real estate license and founded a realty and mortgage company. Today, Khoshbin leads multiple businesses and oversees a commercial real estate portfolio exceeding 1.5 million square feet across six states. His entrepreneurial vision and commitment to innovation will support TACA’s strategic growth and long-term sustainability, building on his more than 15 years of support for the organization and its mission.
Ross Mitchell is President and Founder of Dunbar Real Estate Investment Management, established in 2011 and headquartered in El Segundo, California, with additional offices in Orange County and Scottsdale, Arizona. Mitchell holds a Master of Real Estate Development from the University of Southern California and remains actively engaged with USC as a mentor to graduate students. He previously served on the USC School of Policy, Planning and Development Alumni Board, bringing deep expertise in governance, strategy, and organizational leadership.
As TACA continues to grow nationally, the organization is thoughtfully embracing responsible innovation, including the ethical use of artificial intelligence, to expand access to trusted education, improve family engagement, and enhance operational effectiveness while maintaining the human-centered support that defines TACA’s mission.
