Hamilton Leadership Program
May 23-24, 2008
After some time in the planning, a program to help in preparation for Congregational Leadership
took place on May 23-24, 2008. This was attended by 32 sisters, with 8 presenters and hosted
generously by the Hamilton congregation. The opening session included presentations on
Exploration of Leadership Experience (Sister Trina Bottos),
Leadership, for What World? (Sr Dorothy Ryan) and the
Spirituality of Leadership (Sr Bonnie Anne MacLellan).
Sessions the following day included presentations on Communication Skills/Conflict
Management Sr Mary McGuire), LeadershipStyles/Skills
(Sr Margaret Kane), and Budgeting/Financial Stewardship (Sr Shirley Anderson).
All reports indicate the great success of the event, with feedback including comments such as energizing,
inspiring, surpassing expectations. In addition, the program keeps the Federation agenda to the forefront.
It has been agreed that it would be valuable to offer a repeat of this program in April of 2009,
to be followed at a later date by a second phase which would include the practicalities as well
as the spirituality of leadership.
