Dr. Frank Wright

National Religious Broadcasters President & CEO Dr. Frank Wright announced that he will be stepping down from his position in October, completing a decade of service for the Christian association, according to the Christian Post.

"I have prayerfully concluded that my season of service at NRB is drawing to a close," Dr. Wright said in a letter to NRB Board Chairman Richard P. Bott II. "Accordingly, I do hereby resign my position as president and CEO of NRB, effective October 4, 2013."

Bott accepted the resignation and expressed appreciation for Dr. Wright's "dedicated service" during his 10 years as president. Wright had been unanimously selected by the NRB Executive Committee back at the NRB 2003 Convention & Exposition.

"We especially appreciate the top-notch team of dedicated professionals he has assembled to do the work of NRB, serve our membership and protect religious free speech on Capitol Hill," Bott said.

The NRB chairman revealed that a search committee comprised of NRB Board of Directors and Executive Committee members will be established to discuss candidates to succeed Wright.
