The National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) board of directors has elected Walter Kim as its president, effective January 1, 2020. He will succeed Leith Anderson, who has served as NAE president since 2006. This was one of three top leadership elections made during the board\u2019s semi-annual meeting in St. Paul, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a proven pastor, scholar and thought leader, Walter brings an incredible combination of skills to lead the National Association of Evangelicals into the next decade,\u201d said Roy Taylor, chair of the NAE Board of Directors. \u201cHis ability to think critically and engage charitably has garnered respect and enthusiasm among our leaders as we consider the future of the NAE and evangelicalism in America and throughout the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder Leith Anderson\u2019s leadership, the NAE has reached an unparalleled period of influence as a voice for evangelicals in the USA. He has been an inspiring leader who has influenced me directly. We are thankful for his contributions to the cause of Christ in the USA.\u201d\u00a0says IPHC General Superintendent Dr. Doug Beacham.\u00a0\u201cI am also delighted that Dr. Walter Kim will assume the office of NAE President.\u00a0Along with John Jenkins and Joanne Lyon, Dr. Kim is positioned to lead the evangelical movement to greater influence.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Anderson announced his plans to retire at the conclusion of his term in 2019, the NAE board established the NAEPresidential Search Team \u2014 composed of NAE board members \u2014 to facilitate a careful search process and to make recommendations to the NAE Executive Committee and Board of Directors.<\/p>\n
