Johnson plans retirement from NAMB

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Jack B. Johnson, special assistant to the president of the North American Mission Board (NAMB) and president of former Radio and Television Commission (RTVC), has announced his retirement effective Sept. 15.

Johnson, 65, has served with NAMB since 1997, when the agency was formed in a reorganization of the Southern Baptist Convention from the former Home Mission Board, Radio and Television Commission, and Brotherhood Commission. As president of the RTVC at the time, Johnson was instrumental in the reorganization process as chairman of a nine-member Logistics Transition Team.

Since joining NAMB, Johnson has overseen a number of projects and acted as a liaison for NAMB President Robert E. “Bob” Reccord — who praised him for his servant attitude throughout the transition process.
