Soon after a study commissioned by the World Association of Christian Communication found that men continue to hog the global news headlines — despite the growing presence of women — the group installed its first female executive head.
Rev. Karin Achtelstetter, former director of communications and editor-in-chief for the Geneva-based Lutheran World Federation, was installed new general secretary of WACC in Toronto on Oct. 5, during an executive committee meeting.
Achtelstetter takes up full responsibility at the head of WACC on Nov. 1. She succeeds Rev. Randy Naylor, a Canadian who has served WACC as general secretary since July 2001. — ENI
