An Update on the Shambhala Archives
The past year has brought major transitions for the Shambhala Archives. I am delighted to update you about what has happened and what to expect in the coming year.
In 2016, Shambhala Archives Director Terry Rudderham retired from her post. During her tenure, Terry was an asset to the organization. Fantastically organized and friendly, the Archives accomplished much under her leadership. Please join me in thanking Terry for her many contributions.
Later in 2016, the Shambhala Archives became a part of Kalapa Media—the communications, media, and technology hub for Shambhala. During this transition time, we continue to explore how to work alongside the other Shambhala service providers in the Kalapa Media family, including Shambhala Online, Kalapa Publications, Samadhi Cushions, and more. As we grow together, it is clear that the fruition of these rich relationships is just around the corner.
As the Executive Director of Kalapa Media, I am thrilled to continue Terry’s good work and to further cultivate the Shambhala Archives. I hope to be in touch with you regularly about our progress, outlining our near and long-term goals, and updating you on our successes.
