Sinsinawa Sponsorship

The Sinsinawa Dominican Congregation of Catholic Sisters, founded in 1847, has throughout its history engaged in an on-going commitment to sponsored ministries in an effort to further its mission. In each of their sponsored institutions, the Sinsinawa Dominicans, in partnership with administrators, faculty, staff, board members and friends, seek to influence the ongoing development of each unique ministry. Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters serve on the faculty and staff at Edgewood College.

The elected leaders of the Sinsinawa Dominicans are responsible for representing the mission of the Congregation to each institution. These elected leaders along with their General Finance Officer, form the Corporate Members. The Corporate Members are empowered to:

• Create, amend and restate the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
• Approve the mission.
• Assess the implementation of the mission.
• Approve appointment of members to the Board of Trustees.
• Approve acquisition, purchase, sale of the assets of the corporation.
• Approve dissolution, consolidation or liquidation of the corporation.
