We started the official meetings, as usual, with a liturgy with the board members and the MKLM staff together.

As a mission education component for the board, the board heard presentations by Sr. Noni Gutzler of the sisters' Governing Board and Bro. Wayne Fitzpatrick, representing the priests and brothers' General Council. They brought the board up to date on the interactions of the various Maryknoll entities.

Later in the morning the various board committees met to prepare their reports to the full board. Here the Mission Advancement Committee meets in Director Matt Boyle's office. L-R: Mike Wrob, Matt, Mike Cammarota, and Sarah Welch. Charlie Dittmeier is also a member of this group and took the picture.

The Governance Committee has been very busy preparing for replacement of some of the board members finishing their terms and also keeping the statutes and policies up to date. L-R: Bob Carlsen, Ian Bautista, Kathy Bond, Greg Darr, Marj Humphrey, Bill Vos.

Lunch today was at the Sisters' Center where board members had a chance to meet the sisters or renew friendships from over the years.

At a side table at this lunch were Sr. Regina Pellicore, Sr. Mary Little, and Sr. Noni Gutzler who all have connections with Cambodia and Asia South.

In the afternoon there was a report from the Mission Advancement Department. Matt Boyle (yellow shirt) is the director of that department and made the presentation.
