René Munz, Head of the Cultural Office of the Canton of Thurgau, is stepping down at the end of September 2013. He will move to the Canton of Zurich's Department of Culture, where he will take over the Cultural Policy Unit in the Canton's Department of Culture.
Munz has worked as head of the Thurgau Culture Office since September 2002. As part of the reorganization of the culture division at the Department of Education and Culture, the culture department was upgraded to a cultural office at the time by combining five cantonal museums and cultural promotion in this office.
The canton writes that René Munz has done important groundwork in this regard, creating and further developing the practical guidelines for cultural promotion and cultivation with the Thurgau Cultural Concept and implementing various projects.
In the fall, Munz will take over the cantonal staff position for cultural policy in the Canton of Zurich's Department of Culture and will also become deputy head of the Department of Culture. The position will be advertised shortly.
