This page is designed to provide you three areas of interest...

2. Events -- an up to date listing of upcoming events and the opportunity to register for these events or make contact if you have questions.
3. Resources -- the availability of resources in these areas of Lay Leadership Development that will enhance your work

Sandy Coelho, Lay Leadership Director, will be working to keep this area of the website up to date and current.  If you would like to suggest information that could be shared with one and all, please contact Sandy at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
