Tim Flanagan is the Founder of Catholic Leadership Institute; an organization providing world class leadership formation and consulting to over 100 Dioceses in North America. He is a 20 plus year member of the Philadelphia Legatus Chapter and has spoken throughout the United States on leadership. Tim’s talk, “The Next Generation Parish”, will be an interactive discussion on the future of the Church.

Background The first Legatus Chapter was named the Michigan Chapter. It attracted a few Toledo, Ohio area members because of the encouragement of Toledo Bishop James R. Hoffman, who loved the Legatus concept. The Michigan Chapter grew rapidly and meetings were generally held at Founder Tom Monaghan’s property, “Domino’s Farms”, in Ann Arbor. Tom’s plan was to develop many Chapters in North America. In the early 1990’s, the Michigan Chapter had grown significantly and two groups of members split off into two separate Detroit area chapters. In 2005, members from Ann Arbor area split off to focus on growing membership from Ann Arbor, forming the Ann Arbor Chapter. With only 23 Legates remaining in the Michigan Chapter, mostly from NW Ohio and SE Michigan, Mr. Monaghan asked the members to move the Chapter to Toledo and the Chapter’s name was changed to Genesis Chapter. Over the years the Genesis Chapter grew rapidly and experienced a high retention record. About 85% of members live and/or work in northwest Ohio and about 15% are from the southern Michigan area. Currently, with a total 76 members (148 individuals including spouses), the Genesis Chapter is the 3rd largest of approximately 90 chapters in the U.S., Canada and Ireland.
