RESUME AND RELEVANT APPENDICES
OF
RON PRICE
Preamble:
In addition to my standard resume found below, my Baha’i resume is also found
here, as is: (a) a list of subjects I taught while lecturing and teaching in post-
secondary schools and colleges in Australia, (b) a list of essays and articles I have
published and (c) some relevant bio-data. Once used to apply for jobs from the
early 1960s to the early years of this third millennium, this evolving document is
now an archive that I update occasionally for internet use in these middle years(65-
75) of my late adulthood, a period developmental psychologists generally define as
one’s stage in the lifespan from the age of 60 to 80. This document is 30 pages in
length in a font 14. Readers with little time are advised to skim and/or scan the
more than 7000 words contained therein as suits their taste, interests and needs.
This document was sent to the National Baha’i Archives of Australia(NBAA) to
assist in providing a context for the collection of my letters(1960 to 2010) which I
sent to them in 2010. This document could also be useful in providing a base of
facts for anyone writing my obituary after my passing in the years to come.

5.3.3 Nomination for the best teacher at the Thornlie College of Tafe in 1999 in
Perth Western Australia.
6. REFERENCES, REFEREES AND PORTFOLIO OF MY WORK:
6.1 I am no longer required to supply transcripts, references and testimonials in
relation to positions since I no longer apply for jobs. I keep a file of such
documents which I used from the 1960s to the first decade of the 2000s in an
archive for various practical and nostalgia purposes. In that file are many of the
references and documents in connection with my working life and my community
participation as a citizen, a volunteer and an individual in relation to the many
interest groups in the community with which I have been associated. I have not
required any of these documents in the last dozen years, 1998 to 2011.
6.2 Samples of my writing are also available, if requested. I have a portfolio of my
writing in many forms, genres and layouts as suited to the needs of the groups and
individuals making the requests—for the most part now on the internet. Virtually
all of these requests, as I say, now come from a wide variety of locations on the
world-wide-web, although occasionally I get requests from friends and Baha’i
institutions.
6.3 In July 1999 I ceased full-time employment as a lecturer-teacher. In May 2001
I went onto an Australian Disability Pension and I no longer applied for full-time
jobs. Seven years ago, in late 2003, I applied for my last part-time job. In May
2005 my work in nearly all volunteer organizations also ceased with the exception
14
of work done within the Baha’i community. Now at the age of 66(in July 2010) I
devote myself full-time to writing and editing, poetry and publishing, journalism
and independent scholarship, although my wife ensures that I keep my end up on
the domestic front and in some social activities.

APPENDIX D
RESUME OF BAHA’I ACTIVITY OF RON PRICE
Preamble:
The outline below is a brief sketch only. No attempt is made to list all the activities
in the fifty-eight years(1953-2011) of my association with and membership/service
in the Baha’i community. I have tended to generalize rather than specify the
particular tasks and their respective occasions. Some specificity is required,
25
though, and I think I have provided a good balance between specificity and
generality.
I would think, in the vast majority of cases, the information below is correct and
accurate, although some guesstimation has been required. This statement has been
used occasionally when applying for positions somewhere in what has become a
vast network of service situations/institutions around the globe both within and
outside the Baha'i community. In the last eight years, 2003 to 2011 I have not
applied for positions using this document. But I use it occasionally on the internet.
A. 10 Homefront Pioneering Localities: Listed as Follows:

D. PUBLISHED AND UNPUBLISHED WORK:
See my resume above for details in these two categories of my writing.
E. COMMITTEE WORK:
E.1 LSA and Group Committees:
The list of committees during the 19 years of service on LSAs and another 29 years
in Registered and Unregistered Groups is partly too long to recount and partly
beyond the scope of my memory after all these years. I do not recall serving on
any committees in the five year period 1959 to 1964. Since May of 2005 I have
been the publicity officer and secretary of the George Town Baha’i Group(Reg).

2. RTC of the Northern Territory : 1984-86
3. National Community Development Committee: 1976-77
F.Assistant to the Auxiliary Board : 1986

27
G. Pioneer Service: (Continued)
1. Homefront : Canada : 1962-1971
2. International : Australia: 1971-2011
H. Teaching Work:
It is very difficult to quantify one’s teaching work and the accomplishments of
some fifty years of teaching both as a pioneer(1962-2011), as a new Baha’i in my
home town for three years(1959-1962) before pioneering and the several years of
early contact through my mother and father with this new Faith(1953-1959). But,
given the importance of this part of Baha’i life, the following activities could be
listed as areas of contribution relevant to the teaching work.
It should also be emphasized, as a preamble to this list of activities that, since the
early 1990s, there has been an important shift in the field of Baha’i public
information and the focus of Baha’i activity. The former preoccupation with
“conversion” and the inevitable sense of “us and them” that intruded for so many
years; what had become a somewhat parochial view of focusing the Baha’i
message in religious categories was slowly replaced with a more inclusivistic
approach or philosophy and my own teaching work has reflected this shift.
1 Working on LSAs, Groups and Committees
1.2 Writing: (see my resume above)
1.2.1 essays and poetry for magazines, journals, newspapers and websites in and
out of the Baha’i community
1.2.2 essays and poetry given to individuals, groups and LSAs in the Baha’i
community
note: -some of this is kept at the Baha’i World Centre Library(BWCL)
-the rest I have on file in hard copy or in my computer directory at home
1.2.3 Giving talks/presentations/interviews
1.2.4 Working as a teacher in educational institutions
1.2.5 Moving to many towns and states where few or no Baha’is have lived
1.2.6 Moving to another country at crucial point in a Plan as a pioneer
1.2.7 Entering into various forms of activity and interest groups in local
communities
1.2.7.1 -festivals and other public events, social programs and musical events
-media programs and local organizations in a list too long to mention
1.2.8 Promoting the Baha’i Faith through various forms of advertising such as:
- putting up posters, an estimated....10,000.
28
-doing letterbox drops, an estimated 7,000
-placing ads in newspapers, radio stations, TV stations and magazines, an
estimated 1000, and
-being interviewed on radio, eight radio appearances
(one on cassette tape; one on mini-disc and sent to the BWCL).
1.2.9 Going on unnumbered travel teaching trips from home communities/localities
to extension goals, to towns which were not goals and overseas as a pioneer;
and
1.2.10 Giving poetry readings in both Baha’i and other interest group settings
I. Consolidation Work:
It is also difficult to define one’s contributions to the consolidation work over this
same time period of 58 years. Again, some attempt is made below, given the
importance of consolidation during these years of the ninth and the tenth stage of
Baha’i history: 1953-2011. There has been a major shift in the nature of
consolidation in Baha’i communities as there has been in the teaching domain. I
would like to list the following as part of my contribution to the consolidation
work in its several forms:
1. Work on the Baha’i institutions listed above taking many forms—too
extensive to list here;
2. Writing, as listed above and requiring no more description;
3. Writing booklets of poetry which I think have, and will have, a consolidation
potential in the years ahead since they provide a rich base of comment on the
several decades of Baha’i experience in these epochs; and
4. Several of the activities listed above under ‘teaching’ which also had a
consolidation function.
J. Other Forms of Work/Activity in the Baha’i Community:
In a lifetime, over more than five decades, of service in this emerging world
religion one does a great deal. This section has been opened to include items not
covered in the above and will be elaborated upon in the years ahead as my life
continues into late adulthood(60 to 80) and old age(80++).
K. Concluding Statement:
K.1 The above sketch, or Baha’i resume as I call it, has been written to provide an
outline of my activity in the Baha’i community since 1953 when my mother joined
this new world Faith and when I was still a child. My formal service to this Cause
29
began in 1959 when I joined the Baha'i Faith at the age of 15. The 200 thousand
Baha’is in 1953 are now six million and the Baha’i community has gone through
several transformations in this time.
K.2 This sketch above of my activity in this Faith is concerned more especially
with the years since 1962 when my pioneering life began and since 1966 when my
service in Baha'i Administration started in Windsor Ontario. This statement needs
to be read in conjunction with: (a) my professional resume above--which I used for
many years when applying for general employment positions; (b) my nearly 7000
poems--which is part of a larger autobiographical work entitled Pioneering Over
Four Epochs containing: journals, poetry, letters, book reviews, photographs,
tapes, notes and narrative written and collected over 50 years: from 1960 to 2011—
an estimated five million words.
K.3 Some 5000 of my poems were sent as a gift to the BWCL in celebration of the
wondrous efflorescence that is the Baha’i Project on Mount Carmel. An 800 page
autobiography by the same title was also sent to the BWCL in 2004. This
statement, like my professional resume, was once used when applying for positions
in the embryonic global Baha’i Administrative Order. Now it is used, for the most
part, on the internet when relevant at various websites in connection with a host of
subjects. I trust the above statement is useful to readers who chance upon it.
K.4 Several thousand of my letters were placed in the National Baha’i Archives of
Australia as a gift in 2010.

Once used to apply for jobs from the early 1960s to the early years of this third millennium, this evolving document is now an archive that I update occasionally for internet use in these middle years(65- 75) of my late adulthood, a period developmental psychologists generally define as one’s stage in the lifespan from the age of 60 to 80. This document is 30 pages in length in a font 14. Readers with little time are advised to skim and/or scan the more than 7000 words contained therein as suits their taste, interests and needs. This document was sent to the National Baha’i Archives of Australia(NBAA) to assist in providing a context for the collection of my letters(1960 to 2010) which I sent to them in 2010.

REFERENCES, REFEREES AND PORTFOLIO OF MY WORK: 6.1 I am no longer required to supply transcripts, references and testimonials in relation to positions since I no longer apply for jobs. I keep a file of such documents which I used from the 1960s to the first decade of the 2000s in an archive for various practical and nostalgia purposes. In that file are many of the references and documents in connection with my working life and my community participation as a citizen, a volunteer and an individual in relation to the many interest groups in the community with which I have been associated. I have not required any of these documents in the last dozen years, 1998 to 2011. 6.2 Samples of my writing are also available, if requested. I have a portfolio of my writing in many forms, genres and layouts as suited to the needs of the groups and individuals making the requests—for the most part now on the internet. Virtually all of these requests, as I say, now come from a wide variety of locations on the world-wide-web, although occasionally I get requests from friends and Baha’i institutions. 6.3 In July 1999 I ceased full-time employment as a lecturer-teacher. In May 2001 I went onto an Australian Disability Pension and I no longer applied for full-time jobs. Seven years ago, in late 2003, I applied for my last part-time job. In May 2005 my work in nearly all volunteer organizations also ceased with the exception 14

Now at the age of 66(in July 2010) I devote myself full-time to writing and editing, poetry and publishing, journalism and independent scholarship, although my wife ensures that I keep my end up on the domestic front and in some social activities. 7.

No attempt is made to list all the activities in the fifty-eight years(1953-2011) of my association with and membership/service in the Baha’i community. I have tended to generalize rather than specify the particular tasks and their respective occasions. Some specificity is required, 25
  • 26. though, and I think I have provided a good balance between specificity and generality. I would think, in the vast majority of cases, the information below is correct and accurate, although some guesstimation has been required. This statement has been used occasionally when applying for positions somewhere in what has become a vast network of service situations/institutions around the globe both within and outside the Baha'i community. In the last eight years, 2003 to 2011 I have not applied for positions using this document. But I use it occasionally on the internet.

PUBLISHED AND UNPUBLISHED WORK: See my resume above for details in these two categories of my writing. E. COMMITTEE WORK: E.1 LSA and Group Committees: The list of committees during the 19 years of service on LSAs and another 29 years in Registered and Unregistered Groups is partly too long to recount and partly beyond the scope of my memory after all these years. I do not recall serving on any committees in the five year period 1959 to 1964. Since May of 2005 I have been the publicity officer and secretary of the George Town Baha’i Group(Reg).

  • 28. G. Pioneer Service: (Continued) 1. Homefront : Canada : 1962-1971 2. International : Australia: 1971-2011 H. Teaching Work: It is very difficult to quantify one’s teaching work and the accomplishments of some fifty years of teaching both as a pioneer(1962-2011), as a new Baha’i in my home town for three years(1959-1962) before pioneering and the several years of early contact through my mother and father with this new Faith(1953-1959). But, given the importance of this part of Baha’i life, the following activities could be listed as areas of contribution relevant to the teaching work. It should also be emphasized, as a preamble to this list of activities that, since the early 1990s, there has been an important shift in the field of Baha’i public information and the focus of Baha’i activity. The former preoccupation with “conversion” and the inevitable sense of “us and them” that intruded for so many years; what had become a somewhat parochial view of focusing the Baha’i message in religious categories was slowly replaced with a more inclusivistic approach or philosophy and my own teaching work has reflected this shift. 1 Working on LSAs, Groups and Committees 1.2 Writing: (see my resume above) 1.2.1 essays and poetry for magazines, journals, newspapers and websites in and out of the Baha’i community 1.2.2 essays and poetry given to individuals, groups and LSAs in the Baha’i community note: -some of this is kept at the Baha’i World Centre Library(BWCL) -the rest I have on file in hard copy or in my computer directory at home 1.2.3 Giving talks/presentations/interviews 1.2.4 Working as a teacher in educational institutions 1.2.5 Moving to many towns and states where few or no Baha’is have lived 1.2.6 Moving to another country at crucial point in a Plan as a pioneer 1.2.7 Entering into various forms of activity and interest groups in local communities 1.2.7.1 -festivals and other public events, social programs and musical events -media programs and local organizations in a list too long to mention 1.2.8 Promoting the Baha’i Faith through various forms of advertising such as: - putting up posters, an estimated....10,000. 28
  • 29. -doing letterbox drops, an estimated 7,000 -placing ads in newspapers, radio stations, TV stations and magazines, an estimated 1000, and -being interviewed on radio, eight radio appearances (one on cassette tape; one on mini-disc and sent to the BWCL). 1.2.9 Going on unnumbered travel teaching trips from home communities/localities to extension goals, to towns which were not goals and overseas as a pioneer; and 1.2.10 Giving poetry readings in both Baha’i and other interest group settings I. Consolidation Work: It is also difficult to define one’s contributions to the consolidation work over this same time period of 58 years. Again, some attempt is made below, given the importance of consolidation during these years of the ninth and the tenth stage of Baha’i history: 1953-2011. There has been a major shift in the nature of consolidation in Baha’i communities as there has been in the teaching domain. I would like to list the following as part of my contribution to the consolidation work in its several forms: 1. Work on the Baha’i institutions listed above taking many forms—too extensive to list here; 2. Writing, as listed above and requiring no more description; 3. Writing booklets of poetry which I think have, and will have, a consolidation potential in the years ahead since they provide a rich base of comment on the several decades of Baha’i experience in these epochs; and 4. Several of the activities listed above under ‘teaching’ which also had a consolidation function. J. Other Forms of Work/Activity in the Baha’i Community: In a lifetime, over more than five decades, of service in this emerging world religion one does a great deal. This section has been opened to include items not covered in the above and will be elaborated upon in the years ahead as my life continues into late adulthood(60 to 80) and old age(80++). K. Concluding Statement: K.1 The above sketch, or Baha’i resume as I call it, has been written to provide an outline of my activity in the Baha’i community since 1953 when my mother joined this new world Faith and when I was still a child. My formal service to this Cause 29
  • 30. began in 1959 when I joined the Baha'i Faith at the age of 15. The 200 thousand Baha’is in 1953 are now six million and the Baha’i community has gone through several transformations in this time. K.2 This sketch above of my activity in this Faith is concerned more especially with the years since 1962 when my pioneering life began and since 1966 when my service in Baha'i Administration started in Windsor Ontario. This statement needs to be read in conjunction with: (a) my professional resume above--which I used for many years when applying for general employment positions; (b) my nearly 7000 poems--which is part of a larger autobiographical work entitled Pioneering Over Four Epochs containing: journals, poetry, letters, book reviews, photographs, tapes, notes and narrative written and collected over 50 years: from 1960 to 2011— an estimated five million words. K.3 Some 5000 of my poems were sent as a gift to the BWCL in celebration of the wondrous efflorescence that is the Baha’i Project on Mount Carmel. An 800 page autobiography by the same title was also sent to the BWCL in 2004. This statement, like my professional resume, was once used when applying for positions in the embryonic global Baha’i Administrative Order. Now it is used, for the most part, on the internet when relevant at various websites in connection with a host of subjects. I trust the above statement is useful to readers who chance upon it. K.4 Several thousand of my letters were placed in the National Baha’i Archives of Australia as a gift in 2010. Ron Price ___________________ Updated on: 6 March 2011 7400 Words That’s all folks! 30
