Service Opportunity - Executive Director, Sri Mayapur Vikas

[Guest guest]

Dear Pancaratna prabhu:

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

If you don't come up with the names you are looking for internally (from

those who received your initial message) I suggest you have the sysop for

PAMHO post it to everyone on the network, as well as posting the message to

the various Vaisnava news outlets. We did this and that is how we found our

current and past CPO directors. I had the happy task of sorting through

resumes of very qualified devotees. You need to add some qualifiers to

filter out the immature, the mental unbalanced, and those looking for a visa

or a free ride. We said we would not look at resumes not accompanied by

three references from GBCs, sannyasis, and or temple presidents, the

application had to be in English, and they had to have five to ten years

working professionally in the field.

 

The above is just a suggestion. Use it or forget it, as you deem best.

 

I have sent both messages out to my contacts amongst senior devotees here in

S. California.

 

Your servant,

Badrinarayan dasa
