___BGCT Executive Director Charles Wade, a four-member search committee and the 15-member Administrative Committee recommended Nabors for the financial management position after a nationwide search.
___Wade praised the "great skills and great experience" Nabors brings to the post, noting particularly his strengths in financial management, budget development, measuring investment results and managing personnel.
___The BGCT has an annual operating budget of $47.5 million and total assets of about $163.7 million. The convention handles more than $100 million annually in Cooperative Program and designated contributions.
___Nabors served from 1980 through 2001 with Bank of America in Dallas, including experience as senior vice president and financial manager for Texas Consumer Bank. Other responsibilities during his banking career included providing leadership in market and performance analysis, communications and training, and management information. He also led the business unit support team for the global treasury and trade group.
___Before joining the bank, he worked as senior accountant at Deloitte, Haskins & Sells in Fort Worth.
___Nabors is a 1976 graduate of North Texas State University in Denton, now the University of North Texas.
___He is a member of Cliff Temple Baptist Church in Dallas, where he serves as chairman of deacons and is involved in the choir and orchestra. He also served on the church's most recent pastor search committee.
___In giving his Christian testimony before the BGCT Executive Board, Nabors described his conversion at age 12 while attending a Methodist youth camp in the hills of Alabama. "It wasn't so much a mountaintop experience. It was a natural acceptance and acknowledgement of who should be at the center of my life," he said.
___Nabors and his wife, Joan, live in Duncanville. They have two sons, Adam, 24, and Brent, 22.
