New Chief Executive Officer: Bill Braem

Apr 13, 2026 | 29 Acres News

We are excited to announce that Bill Braem has joined the 29 Acres team as Chief Executive Officer! 

Bill brings the leadership experience we believe will help 29 Acres continue to grow into the gold standard for adult autism support services. He will lead with the primary goal of creating lives that are full and joyful for those living with autism.

BIll has had a successful  15 year history in the for profit hotel industry (primarily in operational roles)  before transitioning to the nonprofit space. More recently he has worked at Children's Medical Center Foundation as Senior Director and most recently as Associate VP Leadership & Institutional Giving at the Dallas Zoo. 

While Bill was not actively looking to move away from the zoo and does not have a personal family connection to autism or special needs, he has a big heart for those living with autism and other special needs and has a deep respect for the important work we do at 29 Acres.

Welcome, Bill!
