The Heritage Foundation announced on Monday that President Kay C. James and Executive Vice President Kim R. Holes are resigning.
The foundation said that James will stay on as president for up to six months, until a successor is found. Heritage noted that James will also remain on the foundation's board of trustees – where she has served since 2005 – and become a distinguished visiting fellow. Holmes' resignation is effective as a April 16. James took over at Heritage at the beginning of 2018, around eight months after then-Heritage president and former Sen. Jim DeMint was ousted. James became the first woman and first Black person to lead the organization. Prior to her Heritage tenure, James served as director of the Office of Personnel Management in the George W. Bush administration. She also served as Virginia's secretary of health and dean of the school of government at Regent University.More Related News
