CAFO Welcomes 3 New Board Members

One of the greatest joys of work in these fields is the people you find yourself laboring alongside.  Case in point:  the three remarkable individuals now joining the Christian Alliance for Orphans’ board.

Each is a highly-esteemed leader in their own right — wise, respected and Christ-hearted; each is also deeply committed to working together for a vision larger than any one organization could achieve alone.

The CAFO Board takes great pleasure in welcoming:

Dr. Albert Reyes

Dr. Albert L. Reyes is the sixth President and CEO of Buckner International. He previously served as president of Buckner Children and Family Services. Prior to his tenure at Buckner, Albert was president of Baptist University of the Américas in San Antonio.
