The president of Minnesota Atheists is the new vice president of the Atheist Alliance International.

August Berkshire was elected to the position when the national organization that serves as an umbrella group for 55 atheist and humanist groups throughout the United States and the world held its annual convention Sept. 25-28 in Long Beach, Calif.

Berkshire currently leads Minnesota Atheists, an organization that says it seeks to promote the positive contributions of atheism to society and to maintain separation of state and church.

Minnesota Atheists presents a weekly radio broadcast by that name on Air America Radio, KTNF (950 AM) at 9 a.m. Sundays along with a cable access TV show, newsletters and holds eight monthly meetings a year.

Woo Hoo!!! Go August!

Congrats, August! You've certainly earned it.

Where does that leave us here in MN? Will you be leaving this post?

Thanks. I'll be completing my term as Minnesota Atheists president, which ends Feb. 28, 2009. We have a few people who would make a good next president - we'll see who throws their hat into the ring! After that I'll be giving most of my attention to AAI, though I will always be available to help MNA as needed.
