Howe
Nashville, Tenn. | New President and CEO of the SBC Executive Committee Jeff Iorg has reorganized the leadership team, ending speculation whether the previous interim EC head would leave. Jonathan Howe will stay on as VP of convention administration. He had led the communications team since 2019, before stepping up after the previous interim CEO Willie McLaurin resigned. “Jonathan served with distinction as our interim president,” Iorg said. “His new role capitalizes on his overall knowledge of the Executive Committee’s work and oversight of the annual convention meeting.”
Porter
Brandon Porter is being promoted to VP for Communications, including management of Baptist Press, and interim Chief Financial Officer Mike Bianchi takes the position permanently. Charles Grant will remain as associate vice president of convention partnerships but will move to the president’s office to work closely with Iorg in maintaining relationships with affinity groups and partners. He assumed responsibility for all ethic ministry relationships when two other positions were cut a year ago to save money.
