Senior Fellows
ABHE Senior Fellows are individuals whose distinguished professional accomplishments, distinctively relevant expertise, and record of biblical higher education affinity and support merit strong commendation and deeper partnership in the service of ABHE and its member institutions. Our Senior Fellows actively partner with ABHE in work that promotes strategic association objectives intended to enhance among students, faculty, administration, and/or trustees the quality and credibility of biblical leadership education and ministry formation. Senior Fellows are frequently called upon to serve as faculty for Leadership Development Conferences throughout the year as well as Annual Meeting pre-convention training, and workshops. ABHE encourages its members to avail themselves of our Senior Fellows’ expertise to support their personal and institutional professional development efforts.
