The Director provides vision, direction, planning, and coordination of continuing education programs addressing religion and spirituality, broadly defined, with special attention to the Roman Catholic community of Southern California. In addition to being the administrator of continuing education programs focused on religion, spirituality and theology, the Director also networks with the leadership of faith communities (especially those that focus on faith formation) in such a way as to build confidence among the public in LMU's capacity to offer programs that are helpful to those same faith communities. Within LMU, the Director is a voice for the ministry formation concerns experienced by faith communities and advocates for greater access for those communities within LMU. While being prudent in the use of resources, the Director will seek to complement the programs already available in those faith communities by the development and offering of specialized content that is culturally responsive and delivered in accessible fashion to the public.
