AFS Presents: Nick Fish, President of American Atheists

For the first meeting of the new year we are proud to have our friend Nick Fish, who happens to be the President of American Atheists, speak to us. Nick is a seasoned activist who has worked across the spectrum of political, social, and non-profit advocacy. He has been at American Atheists since 2012, first as development director and, until his appointment as President of the American Atheists in 2018, as national program director and primary spokesperson.

A native of Michigan, Nick studied political science at Albion College before working in Raleigh, North Carolina, managing a voter outreach office that registered more than 5,000 new voters and knocked on 25,000 doors in the two months leading up to the 2008 election.

After the election, Nick worked in donor outreach, marketing, fundraising, and communications, including with the Secular Coalition for America. Before his appointment as president, Nick served as Development Director and National Program Director for American Atheists.

Since 2015, Nick has often represented American Atheists in the media, including appearances on the Fox News programs Spirited Debate, Hannity, and Fox and Friends, and on countless local media outlets. He has been quoted in the Washington Post, CNN, Time Magazine, Newsweek, and the Associated Press.

He has created innovative advocacy and visibility campaigns, including AtheistVoter, and has developed messaging and strategy around American Atheists’ legal, public policy, and outreach campaigns.
