Director of Operations @Archdiocese of Chicago
Evanston, IL, US
Responsible for the successful operations of Saint John Henry Newman Parish in Evanston, Illinois.This parish is comprised of two campuses. On the East Campus we have Saint Athanasius church and Saint Athanasius School. On the West Campus we have Saint Joan of Arc church and the Academy of Saint Joan of Arc.My responsibility is to provide accuracy, transparency, and timeliness in the physical operations and finances of these two campuses. Why is this important? Because.Accuracy + Transparency + Timeliness = Understanding.Understanding is what the Pastoral Staff, the School Staff, and the parishioners need to meet their goals around faithful formation and education.Three guiding principles underpin my work.1. SERVICE: As a servant leader, the key is in being of service to my stakeholders, while giving them my best, accumulated over years in various leadership and individual contributor roles. COMMUNICATION: Success is only possible when people work together and communicate well with each other. This is called being on the same page which is the result of making and keeping commitments and communicating when anything changes. As we all know, something is going to change.3. PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS of ASSISI: I seek to put others first. I\'m not perfect at this because I\'m only human. My experience across other paths tells me that this is the best direction.
