Dear Friends,
I am extremely honored to announce that I have been named the interim President and CEO of The American Conservative magazine and its parent NPO. It is interim—a one-year position as steward (Faramir) as we search for the return of the king (Aragorn).*
My position with TAC will, in no way, affect my day-to-day duties (or loyalties) to Hillsdale College or The Imaginative Conservative.
Indeed, it is clearly Winston Elliott and his magisterial The Imaginative Conservative and the experience and opportunities it has offered me that paved the way toward the interim position with TAC. TIC-TAC! Ave, Winston.
And, of course, a huge thanks to my great friends, Dan McCarthy, Mark Kalthoff, and Tom Woods, for their encouragement. And, to Sarah Skwire and Steve Horwitz, too. Oh yeah—that mighty Johnny Burtka as well!
As it always has, The American Conservative seeks and will continue to seek “ideas over ideology” and “principles over party.”
Yours, delightedly, Brad
