(PNS) After four years of service with the Mission Initiative: Joining Hearts & Hands (MIJHH), David York has stepped down as director effective April 18 as the campaign comes to a close.
York, an elder from Atlanta, joined the staff of the Presbyterian Church (USA)’s $40 million national fundraising campaign as associate director in October 2004, and later succeeded Jan Opdyke as campaign director following her resignation in October 2006. Robert L. Thompson, who joined the General Assembly Council communications and funds development staff as interim director of funds development in July 2007, will continue to oversee the completion of MIJHH campaign through its report to the 218th General Assembly (2008).
