Executive director interim
candidate to be announced
Baptist General Convention of Texas Executive Board directors will be polled Thursday afternoon, Dec. 20, by e-mail ballot regarding a prospective interim executive director. The Baptist Standard has interviewed the candidate and will post an article about his nomination at 1 p.m. on Dec. 20, after board members have received information about the nominee.
The board received the required three-day notice Dec. 17, informing them a candidate would be nominated Dec. 20 and that they would vote by e-mail.
Charles Wade retires as executive director Jan. 31.
Ken Hugghins, chairman of the BGCT executive director search committee, said his committee is completing the first round of interviews and has begun the second round with some candidates for executive director.
If a nominee is brought forward and approved in January, it is unlikely the person would assume the position before Wade’s retirement date. The nominee likely would need to give a current employer several weeks notice and take a couple of weeks to relocate, Hugghins noted. The interim will serve until a new executive director assumes the post.
