John Windhausen recently announced his decision to step down as Executive Director of the SHLB Coalition, explaining that at 66 years old, it is the right time for him to begin winding down professionally. In his statement, Windhausen noted, “Our advocacy is entering a phase where it will need to ramp up significantly, particularly with changes in the presidential administration.

In October and November, the SHLB Coalition received seven outstanding nominations for our annual board election. Midway through the election season, one of our current board members unexpectedly stepped down due to personal health reasons, increasing our open seats from two to three. One of these seats is always designated for a staff member at an Anchor Institution. Voting ran through November 5.
