Whereas, recently stepping down from his three-and-a-half year term as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Religious Broadcasters, Pastor Plummer was the first African-American in the history of the organization to hold that position; and

Whereas, during his chairmanship of the National Religious Broadcasters, Pastor Plummer was able to meet with President George W. Bush on many occasions, praying with him and ultimately advising the President on how and why he should openly share his personal salvation testimony; and
