Leadership
At our Chapter held every four years, we elect as our congregation leadership team a president and four councilors. As part of the election process, one councilor who has been previously elected to serve in the role of councilor is elected as Vice President. The term of office for an elected leader is four years with the possibility of reelection for one four-year term. Sisters previously elected as a councilor may be elected to serve as congregation president.
Congregation Leadership
The congregation leadership consists of the president and the councilors. One councilor serves as vice president.
Congregation leadership is responsible for:
- promoting the unity, growth, life, and development of the congregation;
- ensuring that the effectiveness of the charism and mission of the congregation is articulated in a clear and compelling way;
- ensuring the implementation of the enactments of the General Chapter;
- attending to the legal and corporate functions proper to the congregation and its sponsored works;
- engaging in long-range strategic planning for the congregation;
- overseeing the development and implementation of congregation policies and guidelines;
- overseeing the administration of the congregational financial resources;
- periodically rendering to members an account of the status of the congregation and of their stewardship.
