“A Vision for Excellence: Lay and Ordained Collaboration for a Well-Run Church.” by Kerry Robinson
The speaker, Kerry Robinson, is Executive Director of the US National Leadership Roundtable for Church Management, an organisation established in the light of the sex abuse crisis by leaders in industry to put at the service of the Church the specialist skills of entrepreneurs, executives, management consultants, organisational experts and business leaders.

A former scholar of Georgetown and Yale, Kerry’s activities have recently included working with the Roman Curia to help introduce leadership roles for women within the body of the Church.
