With the ending of the Cluster Coordinating Committee, who had been facilitating the Cluster discernment process, in June 2006, the Cluster Leadership teams appointed a new executive committee to oversee the final stages of the discernment process. This Executive Committee of Cluster Leadership (ECCL) will be operational until the Congregational Chapters in spring 2007.

ECCL members are:
Sr. Anne Kilbride (Columbus)
Sr. Therese Leckert (New Orleans St. Mary)
Sr. Barbara Rapp (Kentucky)
Sr. Rene Weeks (Great Bend)

Ruby Cribbin continues to work as facilitator for the Cluster, Karen Clay remains the Cluster Communicator, and Fr. Dan Ward, OSB, is a Canon Lawyer with whom Leadership and the Constitutions Committee consult.
