Welcome to Maitri Compassionate Care

THE SEARCH FOR MAITRI’S NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BEGINS

The Executive Director Search Committee of the Maitri Board of Directors is pleased to announce our formalized request for a new Executive Director.

As a friend of Maitri, we greatly value your support, and hope that you will distribute this advertisement to qualified candidates who you feel might be a great fit for our next Executive Director. We feel that filling this position with the right person is crucial as we sustain our 23-year mission to provide the type of care that each of us would like to receive at the end of our lives -- care that is dignified, non-judgmental, and unconditional.

Please see the attached advertisement, and note the response deadline of September 30, 2010 to the email address EDSearch@maitrisf.org. If you have any questions or concerns, please also send them to us via EDSearch@maitrisf.org.

With gratitude,
Jim King

Since 1987, Maitri has been providing hospice and 24-hour care to men and women living with AIDS. "Maitri," pronounced "MY-tree," is a Sanskrit word that means "compassionate friendship." In this 15-bed facility, skilled professionals and dedicated volunteers offer nursing and personal care as well as emotional and spiritual resources to help meet the special needs associated with HIV-related illness. This non-profit program in San Francisco is focused especially on those who might otherwise be without adequate resources or care.
