What is the relationship between TAC, the Episcopal Diocese of Wyoming and the Episcopal Foundation of the Diocese of Wyoming?

The TAC directors are employed by and responsible to the TAC Board of Directors. TAC is a 501(c)3 organized to fulfill the mission and vision described above. The TAC property is partially owned by the Episcopal Foundation of the Diocese of Wyoming. TAC operates in partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Wyoming.

What does it mean that TAC is a Wisdom Center of the Episcopal Diocese?

A Wisdom Center is a place of learning and spiritual formation. There are 5 such sites designated in the Diocese of Wyoming, including the Cathedral in Laramie, the Diocesan office in Casper, a site on the Wind River Reservation, and Hank Raymond Camp.

What is the primary responsibility of the director?

As the job description outlines, the primary role of the director is to be the executive and administrator for TAC and provide (or, ensure they are provided) all of TAC’s services proficiently, with a spirit of service, hospitality and stewardship

This job description is extensive and duties are varied. How will the director get everything accomplished?

The successful candidate(s) will be proficient in serving all facets of this role, either individually or in a spouse or partner director team. However, if the director(s) are not able to fulfill all duties as described, the director(s)’ salary will be commensurate with the ability to perform all job expectations and the board is prepared to allocate budget resources for additional part-time or contracted employees.

Is it expected that the TAC director(s) attend or be a member of the Episcopal church?

No. While we desire TAC director(s) to have personal values that align with TAC’s mission and vision, and appreciate spiritual reflection and growth, affiliation with a specific church or faith community is not a provision of employment.

Does the TAC director(s) live on site?

Yes. The TAC director(s) are provided on-site housing so you can be present for guests and visitors and maintain close oversight of the facilities, grounds and land.

How will you consider individual versus couples as candidates for this role?

TAC has most recently enjoyed a couple serving as successful co-directors of TAC. This is a model we are familiar with and open to pursuing in our current director search, yet we remain open to a single individual to fulfill the position alone, with or without a spouse or partner who may join him/her living on-site but not involved in the TAC director(s) duties. We would love to consider applicants with partners, spouses and/or families for the position.

What do you foresee as the future of TAC?

TAC has recently been approved as an Episcopal Service Corps housing site. Called “On Sacred Ground – Wyoming Service Corps,” the program will be administered by Christ Church Cody. The Program Director (a part-time position) will be hired this fall and will live off-campus; applications to the national program open in November, and we anticipate our first cohort of corps members (5-7 21 to 30 year olds) to arrive in August 2021. Please see the website: wyomingservicecorps.org.

The TAC Board of Directors engages in strategic planning on a regular basis. The board is committed to several goals included in our most recent plan, including preserving TAC’s use as a spiritual retreat center, and maintaining a vibrant presence in our community.
