In partnership with lay, ordained, and religious leaders and organizations across all sectors of the Catholic community in the United States and Rome, Leadership Roundtable seeks to elevate and implement best practices in management and leadership to establish a culture of co-responsible, servant leadership for a healthy, thriving Church in the U.S.

Leadership Roundtable envisions a Catholic Church that has: 

• Established public performance standards in key areas of management, finance, human resources, and communications
• Accepted a variety of internal and external evaluative means to ensure the established performance standards are measured and met
• Established a methodology for developing the next generation of leaders, lay and ordained, whereby those selected for key leadership and management positions have the professional skills to succeed

Leadership Roundtable is composed of faithful Catholics, called by the Holy Spirit and faithful to the Church, who put themselves at her service. We value:

• Transparency
• Co-responsibility
• Accountability
