We are grateful to our founding members who came together to dream of what would be needed moving into the future. It became clear that leadership development and connecting with the global reality of religious life were essential. On February 14, 2012, a brainstorming gathering was convened by Eileen Campbell, RSM and Deborah Troillett, RSM. Those gathered saw the need to create leadership capacity for and networking among younger women Religious and Associates. Representatives from Congregations or organizations attending this gathering became the founding members of the Leadership Collaborative with Kathy Wade, a Mercy Associate, becoming the first CLDP Director.
Agradecemos a nuestras miembros fundadoras quienes se reunieron para soñar con lo que sería necesario en el futuro. Quedó claro que el desarrollo del liderazgo y la conexión con la realidad global de la vida religiosa eran esenciales. El 14 de febrero de 2012, Eileen Campbell, RSM, y Deborah Troillett, RSM, convocaron una reunión de intercambio de ideas. Las reunidas vieron la necesidad de crear una capacidad de liderazgo y una red de contactos entre las religiosas y asociadas más jóvenes. Las representantes de las congregaciones u organizaciones que asistieron a esta reunión se convirtieron en las miembros fundadoras del Colaborativo de Liderazgo. Kathy Wade, una asociada de la Misericordia, se convirtió en la primera directora del CLDP.
