General information on conference can be found here. In addition, CWR Conference 2021 Committee Chair Kim Westerman has provided a brief video message as we look forward to meeting in Memphis:
Keynoted by Mary Pellegrino, CSJ, our conference speakers and presentations will provide vital insight for the work of advancing the mission of Catholic sisters in this time of transition and uncertainty. Sr. Mary’s talk, “From Strings to Yeast: Shifting the Narrative from Scarcity to Abundance,” will explore questions facing and renewed opportunities available to women religious and those engaged in the ministry of communication on their behalf. In addition to our plenary sessions, participants will have a choice from twelve workshop options in three tracks for: Communicators, Collaborators and Fundraisers.
The 2021 conference also provides attendees with the opportunity to gather in person for the first time in two years! After so many months of videoconferences and remote working, we are all looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and getting to know colleagues who share a common mission.
As we continue to emerge from pandemic, the health and safety of all CWR members remains our priority. CWR will continue to act in accordance with policies and directives provided by health and government authorities in order to safeguard the well-being of all attending conference.
