Julie Hamilton is the current president of NARTH.

In support of the mission statement of NARTH, he concluded, " The individual's right for self-determination of sexuality -- or sexual autonomy -- is, I am happy to see, inherent in NARTH's position statement: ' NARTH respects each client's dignity, autonomy, and free agency ... every individual has the right to claim a gay identity, or to develop their heterosexual potential.

' I subscribe fully to the aforementioned NARTH position statement.
