Carl Allegretti, the president of Arbor Investments, will be inducted into the NFF Leadership Hall of Fame June 27, 2022, in Chicago, becoming the 13th passionate advocate of the NFF and its mission to earn the honor.
 
"Carl's remarkable leadership skills and ability to inspire others represent the same set of traits learned on the football field, and we are extremely proud to add his name to the esteemed list of inductees in the NFF Leadership Hall of Fame," said NFF Chairman Archie Manning. "Having achieved the pinnacle of success, Carl understands the imperatives of protecting the game for future generations, and we are grateful for his continued leadership on the NFF Board."
 
Rising from humble roots in Gary, Indiana, Allegretti got his start as a student-athlete on the football field at Butler University.

He eventually rose to become a leader of one of our nation's top companies, holding numerous titles at Deloitte as Chairman and CEO of Deloitte Tax, Managing Partner of Deloitte's Chicago office, the head of the firm's Global Private Practice and Vice Chairman of the Deloitte U.S. Board of Directors. He currently serves as President of Arbor Investments, a $3.2 billion private equity firm in the food & beverage industry.
 
"The NFF Leadership Hall of Fame was created nearly a decade ago, and it has become a powerful vehicle for us to implement the NFF mission by recognizing great leaders who want to pay it forward," said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. "By inducting Carl, we not only pay tribute to his enormous business accomplishments but to the valuable life lessons he learned as a player at Butler and his leadership role as a great ambassador for the game."
 
Having achieved the pinnacle of success, Allegretti and his wife Tammy have supported numerous charities over the years, including Lurie's Children's Hospital of Chicago, which helped his son Joe beat leukemia; the University of Illinois, which helped turn his son Nick into an NFL Super Bowl Champion with the Kansas City Chiefs; and the Chicago Public High School Athletic Association, providing opportunities to underserved youth in Chicago.

His service also includes the boards of World Business Chicago, Civic Committee of the Commercial Club, Imerman Angels and the National Football Foundation. He also started a youth football league in 2004, which has provided more than 10,000 youngsters between kindergarten and eighth grade an opportunity to play the sport he loves.
