#122: Coffee Talk with Kathleen Haley

Today on the podcast I am honored to sit down with Kathleen Haley. Kathleen is NPM’s Director of Membership Services and has served our association in the National Office for twenty years. She is one of the very few NPM staff members that has worked for all 4 NPM presidents in their time here. I am so pleased to look back at Kathleen’s 20 years of service to the association with her. I get the chance to have a cup of coffee with her and let her share some stories from the many conventions, phone calls, emails, and all the other ways she has interacted with all of our membership for 20 years.

#121: The Landscape of Our Association (with Meg Matuska and Christopher Ferraro)

Today on the episode I speak to Meg Matuska. Meg is the Vice Chair for the NPM Board of Directors as well as Director of Music Ministries at Communion of Saints Parish in Cleveland, Ohio. After our first episode with Joe Bazyouros regarding NPM 2.0, we’ve had a lot of questions about the process. “What about chapters?” “Is this already set in stone?” “When can I expect changes to take place?” Meg and I sit down and dig a little deeper intohe process that NPM is undergoing for our future as an association.

After speaking with Meg, I wanted to know more about the regions that she mentioned. How were they crafted for NPM? What was the logic behind them? Why are they important? And so I called Christopher Ferraro to discuss them. Chris sits on the Board of Directors for the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions, or FDLC. He shed some light on the regions and their origins.
