After seven years of service, Jann Ronis will be stepping down as Executive Director of the Buddhist Digital Resource Center (BDRC).

During his tenure, Jann provided steady leadership through a period of significant transition, growth and challenge.  He advanced BDRC's mission to preserve and provide access to Buddhist literature through digital technologies, strengthening BDRC's position as a vital global resource for scholars, practitioners, and institutions worldwide.
