Search for the Next President of SFZC

With Shinchi Linda Galijan’s term coming to an end this year, we are beginning our search for the next President of San Francisco Zen Center. This search will be run by the Governance Committee of our Board of Directors.

We invite applications from all interested and qualified candidates. A full job description, listing both duties and qualifications, is available online here.

If you would like to apply, please email a letter of interest and current resume directly to Dan Zigmond, our Governance Chair, at djz@shmonk.com by June 21, 2020. All applications will be received in confidence. The Governance Committee will request further information from qualified candidates after that deadline and conduct formal interviews of finalists in July.
