Opening bold new pathways entering our next chapter as a continuous, global platform for interfaith collaboration in service of peace, justice, and sustainability.
At Parliament of the World’s Religions' bi‑annual Board of Trustees meeting on 13-14 April 2026 in Chicago, we took one of the most significant steps toward fulfilling 2026–2030 Strategic Plan: we have officially launched the search for our next Executive Director.
We warmly invite you to share this opportunity with the one person in your network who comes to mind when you read the qualifications and responsibilities, someone who embodies moral courage, strategic leadership, and a commitment to interfaith cooperation.
As we embark on this search, we are equally focused on ensuring that our next Executive Director steps into an organization with the resources, stability, and momentum needed to succeed. Our Strategic Plan calls for robust fundraising and the development of compelling programming, and this moment requires us to strengthen the operating foundation that will sustain the Parliament through this leadership transition and beyond.
To that end, we are reaching out to our trusted friends and partners with a request to make a contribution to our Operating Fund. Your support at this time does more than help us meet our fundraising goals, it sends a powerful signal to top-tier candidates that they will be joining a community that stands firmly behind them and believes in the Parliament’s mission and future.

With deep gratitude for your continued friendship and for all that we are building together, we thank you for supporting this pivotal moment in the life of the Parliament.
Nitin Ajmera, Chair
