Mr. Tim Boyd

Born: October 22, 1953 in New York City, USA
Education:Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island; University of Chicago BA

Currently serves as President of the Theosophical Society in America and Editor in Chief for Quest magazine TSA. He has served as President and on the board of directors for the Theosophical Order of Service; Theosophical Book Gift Institute; Theosophical Society in America; has lectured and conducted workshops in the U.S., Central and South America, Europe, Asia, and New Zealand; his articles have been published in theosophical journals around the world.

He is a founding member of a spiritual community which was active in Chicago for more than 25 years. The group worked with troubled youth, taught meditation and healing methods, and established organic food gardens on vacant lots. His involvement with the TOS and the Chushul orphanage in Tibet led to an audience with the Dalai Lama which resulted in the TSA sponsoring his visit to Chicago in July of 2011 for a two day event attended by ten-thousand people. The event raised more than $400,000, all of which was donated to educational projects aiding Tibetan communities worldwide.
