Head of American Humanist Association to step down, make room for diverse leaders
Roy Speckhardt announced on February 5 that he is stepping down from his position as executive director of the American Humanist Association.
Speckhardt said that after 15 years at the top of the organization, it was time for him to “step down and make room for new leadership,” noting that the most prominent organizations representing atheists and freethinkers have never had non-White leadership.
