American Atheists: Well Deserved Promotion for Blair Scott
For Immediate Release

(Cranford, NJ). American Atheists, Inc., announced today that Blair Scott  of Huntsville, Alabama, has been named National Affiliates Director for the group. According to AA President Ed Buckner, "Blair Scott has been working long and very effectively in this arena on our behalf as our National Outreach Director for Affiliates. He richly deserves the enhanced visibility that goes with his new, broader title." Dave Kong of California, National Director of State Operations and Board Secretary for American Atheists, added that Scott "has earned his spurs and the respect of Atheists across the nation with his work. We expect his success, like his hard work, to continue." (Kong has overall responsibility for state directors and thus for our relationships with state and local groups.)  

Blair Scott, who already holds the title of State Director for Alabama, has succeeded in recent years in convincing dozens of local groups to adopt the "affiliates" category with the national organization. Affiliates are loosely connected to the national group, without formal or legal ties but with mutual promises of friendship and support.
