New ITMS Leadership Announced, ‘Dating God’ Author Elected to Board of Directors
Well, for those who didn’t yet know, it’s official now: along with the five others who constitute the new International Thomas Merton Society (ITMS) Board of Directors, I was elected to serve on the Board. Yesterday (Sunday 12 June 2011) marked the transition of the ITMS officers and board members to the newly elected and incoming leadership. Sr. Kathleen Deignan, CND, is the new ITMS President. It is an honor and a great responsibility to be asked to assume a leadership role in such an organization and I am delighted to be able to serve in this capacity for the next two years along with some amazing scholars and leaders in the Merton world.
Here is the full list of the new ITMS leadership as reported by most recent past-president Bob Grip on his conference blog. It includes the new officers, board members and the program committee for the 2013 ITMS Conference to take place at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn.
