by Estrus Tucker, CCR Board Search Committee Chair

I am pleased to announce that the Center is seeking an experienced and innovative Executive Director to build on our twelve-year record of fulfilling our mission to nurture personal and professional integrity and the courage to act on it.

The board is committed to a national search for the best candidate and the search process will reflect the Center's principles and practices. Our next Executive Director will step into a healthy organization with a vital mission, clear strategic direction, core values, committed board, experienced staff, dedicated international network of facilitators, mutually beneficial relationship with Senior Partner Parker J. Palmer, and growing interest in Circle of Trust® approach programs.

The application deadline is March 1, 2010 and we expect the new executive director to assume leadership in the summer or fall of 2010.
