Daniel Aleshire, ATS president, announces retirement

Daniel O. Aleshire, executive director of the Association of Theological Schools, announced that he will retire before June 30, 2017. 

Aleshire has worked with ATS for 26 years, first as associate director for accreditation from 1990 to 1996, then as associate executive director, before becoming executive director in 1997. ATS will mark its centennial in 2018.

“This decision comes at both the right time in my life and a time of considerable strength and capacity in the life of ATS,” Aleshire said. “The association is on sound financial footing, with several grants from generous funding partners that will provide almost all of the financial resources needed through 2019.”
