Nate Adams announces retirement plans after nearly 20 years as executive director

During the Feb. 24–25 meetings of Illinois Baptist State Association Board Committees, Nate Adams shared with board leadership his desire to begin working with the full board on a timeline for retirement as executive director.

Adams has served IBSA since March 2006.

Adams noted during past discussions, board leadership had asked for at least a year of advance notice of his retirement plans, to help ensure adequate time for a careful search process, and to hopefully allow for some overlap time between the current and new executive directors.

During the recent February meeting, Adams asked Board leaders to consider proceeding with the election of an Executive Director Search Committee at its upcoming March 25 meeting in Springfield.

Full story.
