Leadership Collaborative

The Leadership Collaborative was birthed to harness the energy of the amazing leadership capacity of Women Religious and Associates. In 2011, several leadership formation programs were underway, and on February 14, 2012, a gathering took place among women Religious (13 Congregations, the Religious Formation Conference, and Leadership Conference of Women Religious) to dream and envision what is now the Leadership Collaborative. Today, we continue to create programs that capture our hearts and minds, create space for the conversations needed, and gaze over the horizon to look at what is emerging in religious life today. Our community is strong, with over 700 leaders (of all kinds) and over 100 Congregations who are part of the Leadership Collaborative. We are blessed to companion these Religious and Charism Carriers (Associates, Affiliates, etc.), expanding our personal development as a leader, increasing our consciousness of current and emerging systems, and offering space to explore together. At the Leadership Collaborative, our mission is to foster transformational leadership for religious life and the gospel mission, now and into the future.
