Leadership for Mission Programme

THE LEADERSHIP FOR MISSION PROGRAMME

Participants to the first LM programme for Newly elected Superiors in November 2017 at Mary Ward Centre

During the implementation of its 2011 –2016 Strategic plan, ACWECA Leadership and Administration noted that the Sisters in the Region still need more support especially in promoting effective Leadership in the Region, National Associations and in the Institutes.

As such, ACWECA’s 2017—2022 Strategic Plan designed a programme in response to this felt need. This programme is aimed at addressing gaps in areas of Chapter celebration, Formation, Governance and sustainability and the Administration of temporal goods.

The identified areas will be addressed through workshops indicated in the programmes below. ACWECA has trainers and consultants with the relevant expertise who can handle the topics.

The goal of this programme is:
  • To have within reach Sisters who can help in Chapter Celebration.
  • To enable Superiors to effectively implement their Chapter Resolutions and,
  • To enable Superiors to prepare for leadership transition.
Objectives of the Programme
  • Promote effective Leadership for the Region, National Associations and in the Institutes.
  • Strengthen Initial and On-Going Formation and,
  • Foster Self-sustenance in National Associations and in Institutes.
