The Clan that comprises the surnames MacDuffie, MacDuffee, MacDuffy, MacFee, MacFie, MacPhee, MacPhie, and other accepted cognates is currently without a Chief or a Clan Commander (Ceann-Cath).

The Clan MacDubhsith Commander will provide leadership, carry forward development of the Clan, and drive the process to identify a suitable Chief.

The Lord Lyon King of Arms will be petitioned for authorization to convene a Family Convention to be held in May 2026.
