SFZC Board Meeting Abbreviated Minutes (3/18/15)

The Zen Center Board met on March 18 at Greens Restaurant.

The board unanimously approved a paid-leave policy that will allow senior administrative staff six-month sabbaticals after seven years of continuous service.

Most of the meeting was devoted to discussions about the choices before us in creating a balanced budget that must be finalized at the April meeting.

There was also significant discussion about moving the process forward to have our endowment investment committee study the impact of socially responsible filters or screens on the investment of our endowment funds.
