Angelo Collins, OP, is currently on the Leadership Council of the Dominicans of Sinsinawa.  Consistent with the Dominican charism of teaching and peaching and grounded in the conviction that providing quality education is an act of justice, all of her ministries have involved teaching: as a high school classroom teacher, as a teacher of teachers, conducting research and drafting policy on teaching and teacher assessment and as an administrator in not-for profit organizations and universities.

Sister Diana De Bruin is the Community Director of the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Her ministries in the past have been an elementary school teacher, a pastoral associate, a credit counselor in the inner city of Milwaukee for ACTS (Allied Churches Teach Self-Empowerment and Dominican Center), associate director of her congregation for eight years, and Community Director for four years. Her congregation is a stakeholder for the Wisconsin Religious Collaborative, and she believes that the future of religious life will be built on collaboration with various groups/congregations so together they can better minister to the needs of the church and the world.  

Sharon Glumb, SLW initially entered the Sisters of Christian Charity, but knew that God was drawing her toward the Sisters of the Living Word when this new Community founded in 1975. During her years in ministry she served by teaching 7th graders, directing a religious education program in a suburban parish, devoting a couple of years to campus ministry, and serving as vocation director for the Community and later for the Archdiocese of Chicago as well. For ten years, she served as campus minister at three colleges in Jackson, Mississippi. From 2000 until 2006, while continuing part time in campus ministry in the south, she once again directed the Community’s new membership efforts. Following that, she returned to full-time campus ministry, where she served three college / university communities in the Memphis Diocese until 2013. At that time, Sharon was elected to serve in Congregational Leadership for the Sisters of the Living Word for a five-year term, 2013-2018 and was re-elected in 2018 for a second five-year term.

Sr. Rose Jochmann, OSF, is currently on the Leadership Team of the Sisters of St. Francis of the Holy Cross.  Her ministries in the past have been elementary school teacher and principal, Leadership Team from 1997 to 2015 and Community Treasurer from 1983 to 2017.  Her education includes Bachelors of Science from St. Norbert College, De Pere, Wisconsin, and Masters of Science in Administration for University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana.
