During the same period,&nbsp;<strong>Tesla Science Foundation Serbia<\/strong>&nbsp;was also established, with the goal of strengthening the connection between the diaspora and the homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Over more than two decades, we have organized an&nbsp;<strong>extraordinary number of events, conferences, exhibitions, educational programs, and international initiatives<\/strong>. Most importantly, we have included&nbsp;<strong>numerous individuals, institutions, and organizations worldwide<\/strong>&nbsp;who made significant contributions to the preservation and promotion of Nikola Tesla\u2019s legacy and the cultural and scientific heritage of Tesla\u2019s people. These contributions were formally recognized through&nbsp;<strong>plaques, lapel pins, medals, awards, and the installation of busts and reliefs bearing the name of Tesla Science Foundation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The growth of all these activities occurred&nbsp;<strong>far more rapidly and powerfully than originally planned<\/strong>. An increasing number of people and organizations around the world expressed a desire to become part of Tesla Science Foundation or to establish their own&nbsp;<strong>TSF chapters or Nikola Tesla Clubs<\/strong>. However, with the infrastructure we currently possess,&nbsp;<strong>it was not\u2014and is still not\u2014possible to adequately support and manage all these initiatives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">By studying the history of many Tesla-related organizations, as well as other institutions that once made a major contribution to the promotion of Nikola Tesla, I asked myself a critical question:<br><strong>Why did some of these organizations eventually cease to exist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In many cases, the answer was the same. Leaders who had guided these organizations for decades reached a stage in life when it became necessary to&nbsp;<strong>introduce younger generations<\/strong>, individuals who would continue the same mission while adapting it to the demands of the time. Unfortunately, that moment was often&nbsp;<strong>not recognized in time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Aware of this historical lesson, I have decided to initiate a&nbsp;<strong>new phase in the development of Tesla Science Foundation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">For this reason, I am issuing an&nbsp;<strong>OPEN CALL<\/strong>&nbsp;for the following leadership positions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">President of\u00a0<strong>Tesla Science Foundation<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Presidents of\u00a0<strong>Nikola Tesla Clubs<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Leadership of the program\u00a0<strong>Cultural and Civic Diplomacy of Tesla\u2019s People<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Leadership of the project\u00a0<strong>Tesla\u2019s People<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Editors-in-Chief of the portals:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/nikolatesla.org.rs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NikolaTesla.org.rs<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>TeslaScienceFoundation.org<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Editorial and leadership roles for\u00a0<strong>TeslaTalk.TV<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Each of these projects is&nbsp;<strong>essential to the future work and sustainability of the organization<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>each must have its own dedicated president, director, or responsible leader<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Until now, all of us have worked&nbsp;<strong>entirely on a volunteer basis<\/strong>, with minimal budgets.
