Regional Leaders

Regional leaders develop and manage the various areas across North America.

  • They help mobilize men on the ground across their individual regions, working closely with CMLA executive leadership. 
  • Regional leaders identify leaders in their regions and help them develop leadership teams.  Their goal is to establish active men's ministries in every diocese and parish. 
  • Regional leaders provide essential leadership guidance and resources to help state and diocesan leaders.
