Charles E. Bradford

In 1979 Bradford was elected to succeed Neal C. Wilson as president of the NAD. Wilson, who served as a vice president in the General Conference with responsibility for North America, moved on to become president of the General Conference.

Bradford, the first African American to serve as NAD president, and his administrative team, were instrumental in the NAD’s development toward functioning as a division territory of the Adventist Church. Bradford joined the NAD after serving as associate secretary of the General Conference from 1970 to 1979. He served as NAD president until 1990.
