CWN Editor's Note: Archbishop Timothy Broglio, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, has named James Bogner as chairman of the National Review Board, which advises the US bishops on protecting children and youth from sexual abuse.
Bogner, a retired senior executive special agent for the FBI, chairs the Omaha archdiocesan review board and is active in his parish. He succeeds Suzanne Healy, who has completed a four-year team.
Archbishop Broglio also named three new members to the National Review Board and reappointed another. The three new members are
- Paulette Adams, a retired nursing professor and member of the Louisville archdiocesan review board since its inception
- Scott Surrette, an Indiana home inspector and husband and father who was sexually abused by a priest as a child; he is a member of his diocese’s review board
- Barbara Thorp, the retired head of the Archdiocese of Boston’s pro-life and pastoral support and outreach offices, and a current board member of Awake, a community of abuse survivors
