International (SAT7/MNN) ― The Board of Directors of SAT-7 USA announces the departure of Mr. Paul Dilcher as Executive Director. The Board of Directors appreciates all of his work during this past year and wishes him success in his future endeavors.
The Board responded to Mr. Dilcher's departure by appointing Dr. Rex M. Rogers as the Interim Executive Director of SAT-7, effective immediately.
As a Vice President of The Timothy Group (a consulting firm based in Grand Rapids, MI), Dr. Rogers brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the organization.
Prior to joining The Timothy Group in 2008, Dr. Rogers served for sixteen years as the President of Cornerstone University (Grand Rapids, MI), comprising an undergraduate and adult program, two seminaries, and an international radio ministry including Mission Network News. He is experienced in leadership team building, board development, fundraising, and strategic planning.
In addition to taking on the day-to-day leadership of the organization, Dr. Rogers will be working in tandem with colleagues from The Timothy Group to conduct a strategic assessment of the organizational structure and on-going operations of SAT-7 USA to determine what, if any, organizational restructuring may be needed to better enable the organization to achieve its long-term goals.
Upon completion of these strategic initiatives, this Transition Team will initiate a process to identify and hire a new permanent Executive Director later in 2009.
SAT-7 USA is committed to furthering communication among its staff and supporting constituency.
The organization will maintain all services and normal operations during this transitional strategic review and the subsequent search for a new executive director. In no way do these changes alter the commitment of SAT-7 USA to undertake a significant expansion and enhancement of SAT-7's critical international ministries.
Pray for this process of transition and the search for a permanent Executive Director.
