Each staff member at ECHO is asked to sign our Statement of Faith or The Apostles’ Creed.
David Erickson, who has been a part of ECHO’s staff for over 11 years and served as President/CEO for the past six years, has asked ECHO’s Board to begin the search process for his successor. David was treated for prostate cancer at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and is gratefully, now cancer-free.
David is prayerfully anticipating a full and complete recovery. Nevertheless, he recognizes that the recovery process may take a while. As he has said, “ECHO needs and deserves the very best in its leader. I’ve sought to offer that, and I want ECHO to continue to receive that in the future. Beginning the transition now will ensure that ECHO’s Board will have ample time to conduct a thoughtful, prayerful, and thorough search to find the person that God has to lead this extraordinary work going forward.”
ECHO’s Board did not initiate David’s decision to retire. The Board Members have also expressed gratitude for David’s willingness to stay in his leadership role for as long as it takes the Board to strategically identify the next person God is calling to take up the mantle. David and the Board have agreed on a target date of February 2022 to coincide with a celebration of 40 Years of ECHO’s global engagement. So, David will continue to serve as ECHO’s President/CEO well into the New Year.
The Board has embarked on the search/selection process with the guidance of a Board-appointed Search Committee (composed of 3 Board members and 4 senior staff leaders) and the search firm of Clarity for Christian Leaders. They have developed search and selection criteria, a President/CEO position profile, and a search outreach plan. The invitation for applications, screening, interviewing, etc. will take place over the following months. The Board has committed to take whatever time is necessary to find the next leader to advance ECHO’s work and witness into the future.
Even at this moment, ECHO’s impact is growing all around the world! ECHO’s mission, vision, and strategies are clear. ECHO has an extraordinarily gifted, experienced, and committed staff. Wonderful volunteers, faithful and generous supporters, and strong finances provide the foundation and capacity for ECHO’s ongoing work. Most importantly, God has chosen to use and multiply the work and witness of ECHO – enabling us to bless over a million women, men, and children each year.
