From the Board of Directors

A Request...

The Board of Directors of Red Cedar Zen Community will offer the following slate of officers and board members going forward for the community’s review at the Annual Sangha Meeting at 1:00 PM on Sunday, May 31:

• President: Mari Ritalahti (formerly our Treasurer)

• Vice President: David Ketter (and interim Secretary)

• Treasurer: Kris Blake (new board member)

• Barbara Noda (continuing member)

• Scott Allen (continuing member)

• Bob Rose (extending service until 12/31/2025)

Our by-laws call for a 30-day comment period on board nominations. Please offer any comments by May 30 to board@redcedarzen.org or you may submit an anonymous suggestion at our new Sangha Suggestion Box.

...and an Invitation

We also have available openings available for sangha members to serve our community’s needs. The Board is responsible for prudently managing the sangha’s financial resources, maintaining our new temple and community gathering space, and providing dependable support for our Teachers and students to offer a range of dharma opportunities to the public.

Board service is another form of practice - taking zazen off the cushion and rolling up our sleeves to offer a stable practice space for our community. We welcome your interest as an expression of your commitment to our growing sangha.
