The Dominican Sisters of Peace hold two permanent voting board seats
Mark Butler and Claire Crane sit on Crown Point's board as Permanent Voting Members representing the Dominican Sisters of Peace — not elected like the rest of the board, but structurally guaranteed. It's concrete evidence of what "a ministry of the Dominican Sisters of Peace" means in practice.
Ian Roberts, Executive Director, also holds an ex-officio board seat on the Governance Committee, per standard nonprofit practice for a sitting ED. Crown Point's Vice Chair seat is currently open — inquiries welcome via the Board Chair or Executive Director.
