Presidential Search Moves Forward and Two New Board of Trustees Members Added

---

The ORU Presidential Search Committee met and moved a step further in the selection process. The search consultant, Bruce Dingman, reviewed a number of candidates with the committee, and of that group four were chosen to advance. There were 135 people suggested over the past six months representing a wide diversity of experience, abilities and backgrounds. The committee ended the meeting optimistic of positive end results and knowing the Lord is in charge.

Also, at a recent meeting, W. P. Bartlett and Cameron Strang became the newest Board of Trustees members of Oral Roberts University.

Bartlett is founder and CEO of Callidus Technologies, L.L.C., a major designer and supplier of combustion equipment/systems to the refining and petrochemical industries worldwide. Most recently, Bartlett's leadership earned Callidus the 2007 Award for Excellence in Exporting from Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry, and an Export Achievement Award from the U.S. Department of Commerce. On June 12, 2008, Bartlett received the Governor Nigh Award as the Outstanding International Citizen in Oklahoma for the Year 2008. He is also a life member of the Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship.

Strang is a 1998 graduate of Oral Roberts University and is founder and CEO of Orlando-based Relevant Media Group, a multimedia company reaching Christians from college to their thirties. Strang most notably publishes Relevant Magazine and RelevantMagazine.com, which have a combined reach of more than 500,000 people a month. Relevant also actively partners with several organizations, including P.E.A.C.E., Blood:Water Mission and the One Campaign, to raise awareness and tangibly engage this generation in important social justice issues.
