Our new TOS President
We are pleased to welcome Tim Boyd as the new international president of the TOS, a post that comes ex officio with his election to the presidency of the Theosophical Society.
 |
No stranger to the work of the TOS, Tim served as president of the TOS in America from 2007 to 2011. Under his leadership, the TOS in the US was restructured so that projects were highlighted rather than departments. This helped release energy for the activities of the organisation, giving members the freedom to focus on what they were passionate about instead of trying to find people to fill different departments. Tim also helped set in place the Kern Foundation matching challenge grant which has been significantly benefiting the Golden Link College in the Philippines for seven years now. For 25 years Tim worked with a group helping troubled youth in the Chicago area. More recently, Tim’s involvement with the TOS and the Chushul orphanage in Tibet led to an audience with the Dalai Lama which resulted in the TS in America sponsoring his visit to Chicago in July of 2011 for a two-day event attended by ten thousand people. The event raised more than $400,000, all of which was donated to educational projects aiding Tibetan communities worldwide. |
