Robert K. Dellenbach

Robert Kent Dellenbach (born May 10, 1937) was an American educational administrator and has been a general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) since 1990. He was the eighteenth general president of the Young Men organization of the LDS Church from 1998 to 2001.

Dellenbach was born in Salt Lake City and raised in Clinton, Utah. After high school, he served as an LDS Church missionary in West Germany for 30 months. Upon returning to the United States, Dellenbach earned a degree from the University of Utah and an MBA degree from Brigham Young University. Dellenbach became a vice president with the University of Alaska Fairbanks and later became president of the Alaska Methodist University (now Alaska Pacific University) in Anchorage. He also worked for the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, and at the Institute for Advanced Technology of Control Data Corporation in Rockville, Maryland.

Prior to his call as a church general authority, Dellenbach was a bishop, stake president, and a regional representative of the Twelve Apostles in the church. He was the president of the Germany Düsseldorf and the Germany Munich Missions of the church. In 1990, he became a member of the Second Quorum of the Seventy. In 1992, he was transferred to the First Quorum of the Seventy.

In 1998, Dellenbach succeeded Jack H. Goaslind as the general president of the Young Men organization. Dellenbach had twice been Goaslind's second counselor (1990–91; 1997) and had twice been his first counselor (1991–92; 1997–98). He was released from this responsibility in 2001 and was succeeded by his own first counselor, F. Melvin Hammond. During his tenure as a general authority, Dellenbach served in a number of area presidencies, including Europe, based in Frankfurt, Germany, and the Pacific Islands, based in Auckland, New Zealand.

In October 2007 Dellenbach was given general authority emeritus status. Since then he has served as the LDS Church's official liaison to the Salvation Army, Utah Chapter.^[1]

1. Emeritus general authorities are individuals who have been released from active duties as general authorities. However, they remain general authorities of the church until their death. Except for the three former members of the Presiding Bishopric noted, all living emeritus general authorities are former members of the First or Second Quorums of the Seventy. 2. These former members of the Presiding Bishopric did not serve as a Seventy during their time as a general authority.
