You’re Invited! Virtual New Leader Orientation

Are you new to Mercy school leadership, or simply looking for a fresh perspective on your ministry? Mercy Education’s New Leader Orientation Program offers engaging virtual sessions that provide insight, tools and inspiration for those serving as administrators and board chairs.

Although the program is designed especially for new leaders, everyone is welcome to join any session that would be helpful in their ministry. Most presentations are offered twice, so you can choose the time that works best for your schedule.
