NEW CHAIRMAN AND DIRECTORS FOR SUSILA DHARMA INTERNATIONAL
(August 2005)
At the 2005 Subud World Congress held July 20 – August 4 in Innsbruck, Austria, new leadership for SDI was elected. Sharifin Gardiner (former SDI director from the UK) will chair our organization for the next four years. Our great appreciation is given to Kumari Beck, our chairperson since the last World Congress.
New board directors include Kumari Beck (from Canada), Lawrence Fryer, who will serve as treasurer (from Germany), Paloma de la Viña (from Spain), Lusana Blond (from USA) and Mardijah Simpson (from Australia). As our board has staggered terms, returning directors are Bardolf Paul, vice chairperson (from Kalimantan, Indonesia), Arnaud Delune (from France) and Ariana Susanti (from Indonesia). The new World Subud Association chairperson, Osanna Vaughn, is an exofficio board member, as is SDI’s executive director, Rifka Several (board secretary).
We warmly thank retiring board directors Elias Dumit, Liz Neil, Harlinah Hamer and Olvia Reksodipoetro, who resigned to serve as a board member for the Mhd. Subuh Foundation.
