Leadership Transition Update at Christian Record Services:
During a regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, September 22, the Christian Record Services, Inc. (CRS) Board of Directors announced a change in leadership plans following Cesar Perozo’s recent appointment as incoming president.
Due to unforeseen family circumstances, Perozo has made the difficult decision to withdraw his name from consideration for the presidency. This decision comes after thoughtful reflection and prayer. The CRS Board accepts this withdrawal and respects his commitment to prioritizing family during this time.
The CRS Board has reconvened the executive search committee and is actively working to identify the next candidate to lead the organization. In the interim, the ministry’s dedicated staff and leadership team will continue to serve the blind and low-vision community with unwavering commitment and compassion.
