Welcome and Icebreaker: A chance to meet new directors and reconnect with everyone.

3:00 NDC Discussion and Reaction/Input by Bishop Malone
This segment will begin with two questions:

• What excites you about the National Directory?
• What alarms or concerns you about the National Directory?

Bishop Malone will respond to the discussion that ensues from these questions. The group will interact with him with questions and comments.
A final question for sharing (or possibly in a cluster) would be “Where do we go from here?”
Directors are asked to review their draft of the NDC before the meeting, if possible.

Break: Refreshments: Ave Maria Press will provide snacks.

Directors will be able to gather at tables with others who share an interest in discussing any of the following issues:

Other clusters may form spontaneously around a table for open discussion of any topic that might be of interest once the group forms.
