Linda Valentine, executive director of the Presbyterian Mission Agency, has been nominated for a third four-year term as head of the national staff of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
The Presbyterian Mission Agency Board, meeting in Louisville, convened in closed session April 23 to consider a performance review of Valentine. Afterwards, it was announced that the board had nominated Valentine to a third term as executive director, with that nomination contingent upon approval in June by the 2014 General Assembly.
Valentine, a lawyer and a ruling elder, came to work at the PC(USA) in 2006, and previously worked at Motorola from 1984 to 2002 and at Opportunity International, a Christian nonprofit group in Illinois.
