(Appleton, Wis.) – Hoffman Planning, Design & Construction, Inc. will once again bring its expertise to the annual Resource Center for Religious Institutes (RCRI) National Conference.
Hoffman’s Julie Heiberger and Mark Boehlke will be joined by Sr. Fran Nadolny, OP, and Sr. Corrine Sanders, OP, for “A Case Study of Transformation: The Adrian Dominican Sisters’ Story” on Thursday, Oct. 28.
“Many religious organizations are going through a transition driven by demographic and other changes,” said Heiberger, Hoffman’s women religious market leader. “As a result, religious communities like the Adrian Dominican Sisters find that they need to adapt their approach to mission, community, and stewardship of resources.”
The presentation will focus on the Adrian Dominican Sisters’ recent journey of transformation. “We worked with the sisters to create a plan for consolidating assets, reducing their carbon footprint, keeping the legacy of the land, and maintaining their campus ministry,” Boehlke said. “It was a journey to enable them to live more ecologically and economically.”
