With tremendous gratitude, the Board of Directors of the Long Now Foundation announces that Alexander Rose will be stepping down from his role as Executive Director after 26 years of service to focus on his research into the world’s longest-lived organizations.

Several years ago, Alexander began a study of institutions that have stood the test of time, hoping their example would help Long Now sustain itself through centuries & millennia. That research made it clear that the first generational transition is the most challenging one.

Remarkable institutions become remarkable by wisely stewarding the next generation of leadership. Long Now is proud to be an organization that lives its values as we hand the reins to our next generation.

With great optimism, we’d like to announce our search for Long Now’s next Executive Director, who will help steward the organization into its second quarter century with future centuries and millennia in mind. We are seeking a visionary leader and an unusually bold thinker ready to build an audacious, resilient, diverse, intergenerational, curious, awe-inspiring organization with us. You can help by spreading the word.

Under Alexander’s leadership, Long Now spent its first quarter century building an institution capable of supporting the kinds of projects that inspire people to imagine a future in which long-term thinking and responsible stewardship are the rule, not the exception.

Alexander’s vision, care, and hard work leaves Long Now with a bright future ahead. Our mission remains unchanged: to foster long-term thinking and to preserve possibilities for the future.

Today, Long Now is in great hands, led by an incredible leadership team that includes our Co-Founders Stewart Brand, Danny Hillis, and Brian Eno, Board Co-Chairs Katherine Fulton & Kevin Kelly & our entire Board of Directors, & our Interim Executive Director & COO Rebecca Lendl.
