President's Council         

The NRB President’s Council comprises visionary NRB Members, who express their commitment to the work of the association through additional commitments of time, support, and financial resources.  President’s Council members understand the singular importance of NRB’s engagement in the legislative, legal, and regulatory processes centered in Washington, DC, recognizing that these efforts are crucial in the battle to keep the doors of electronic media open for the spread of the Gospel.  Through participation in special events in Washington, DC, President’s Council members serve as influential ambassadors for NRB as they interact with political leaders and others with positions of significant influence and authority in our nation’s capital.

In short, President’s Council members are a select group of strategic partners whose generous support and dedicated efforts enable the NRB to preserve and expand the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, both here and around the world.

The NRB President's Council:

• Serves as an advisory board for the association.

• Draws upon the breadth of experience from our membership.

• Lays a foundation for the future of Christian media.

• Gives opinions and feedback on the direction of the association.

• Functions as a sounding board for future NRB initiatives.

The focus of the President's Council:

• Keeping the doors of electronic media open for the spread of the Gospel.

• Opening new doors of opportunity to reach the world for Christ in our generation.

• Securing our freedom to proclaim the unfettered Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The annual contributions to the President's Council help advance a three-fold strategy:

• To advance the interests of Christian broadcasters and programmers in the legislative, legal, and regulatory forums of Washington, DC.

• To capitalize on emerging opportunities to advance the cause of Christ through broadcasting.

• To strengthen vital relationships with men and women in positions of influence and authority in our nation's capitol.

President’s Council Member Testimonials

“The President’s Council is a ‘must’ for all members of the NRB who see the need for involvement with the federal government which is so engaged with what broadcasters do now and intend to do in the future.”  
- Michael D. Little, President & COO, The Christian Broadcasting Network

“An outstanding opportunity to better understand … how we, as an association, can fight to protect the proclamation of the Gospel generally, strive to preserve our rights as religious broadcasters, and act more efficiently as salt and light in our culture.”  
- John Fuller, Vice President of Audio and New Media, Focus on the Family

“WLMB-TV 40 TOLEDO supports the President’s Council because we believe the NRB is best positioned to preserve and expand Christian broadcasting not only in the United States, but literally around the globe.  Our investment is a well placed strategic investment in the building of the Kingdom of God and without question, the successes of the NRB for Christian broadcasters, for Christian communicators, has been monumental.  If you are a Christian broadcaster, I can think of no wiser place to invest in the preservation and expansion of your religious freedoms than to become a Member of the NRB President’s Council.”
