Theresian Leadership
Local Leadership Team
Within the Theresian organization, there are many opportunities to serve. Beginning with her own local community, each Theresian is encouraged to share her gifts by serving as one of the community’s five team members. From there, women are called forth to broaden their service in leadership on the national and/or international level. District Leadership Team District Leadership Teams are formed to provide leadership in areas where three or more communities are located. A representative from each community comes together regularly to plan Days of Prayer and to offer support to local communities within that geographical area. National Leadership Team Each country calls forth the gifts of women yearly to serve on the National Leadership Team (NLT). The NLT dedicates itself to fostering leadership and expansion by updating leadership and spiritual resources. The Team seeks to call communities within their respective countries to a deeper unity and holiness. 2023-2024 Team Co-Chair: Gretchen Penny Co-Chair: Mary Schreiber Secretary: Erin Duhon Community & Ministry Committee Chair: Janice LeMond Spirituality & Education Committee Chair: Melanie Hartshorn Members: Consuelo de Souza Silva Margarita Prinz Toni Hare Millie Foster Carol Landry Spirituality: Jet Booth International Leadership Theresians International has one governing board that meets bi-monthly.
