Robinson, Executive Director, National Leadership Roundtable on Church Management It is a delight to welcome you to the annual gather- ing of the National Leadership Roundtable on Church Management. In two weeks, the Leadership Roundtable will officially be four years old. It is rather remarkable to note that this is the sixth time we have gathered at The Wharton School as bish- ops, Church leaders, senior executives, and special Kerry Robinson guests in order to make a positive and effective con- tribution to the Church we love. There is no greater privilege than to contribute what one does best in service to a greater good, espe- cially when that greater good in turn blesses, consoles, ennobles, and inspires the lives of others. In this spirit of gratitude for the opportunity to be of service, we begin the way we begin all of our work and deliberations, in prayer. To lead us in prayer this morning, I welcome Sr. Doris Gottemoeller, Sister of Mercy and Senior Vice President for Mission Integration at Catholic Healthcare Partners. NLRCM09.Part 1.PRESS 11/10/09 12:30 AM Page 2 NLRCM09.Part 1.PRESS 11/10/09 12:30 AM Page 3 3 Opening Prayer Opening Prayer Sr. Doris Gottemoeller, RSM, Senior Vice President, Catholic Healthcare Partners We will share many words today. Let us quiet our hearts for a moment and join together in prayer. Gracious God, we gather here this morning in a spirit of grat- itude for your constant presence with us in your Church. Through your Son Jesus, you taught us that the Church’s mis- sion is about teaching, healing, sanctifying, and inviting us to deeper union with you. Through your Spirit, you guide us in our efforts to carry out these ministries. Sr. Doris Gottemoeller, RSM Be with us today as we seek ways to support and strengthen the work of the Church in our time and in our communities and throughout the world. Bless all those who lead the Leadership Roundtable and those who have prepared this meeting, that they may continue to guide our efforts with insight and courage. Bless all those who have contributed their time, talent, and treasure during the past year to its continued work. Bless all the bishops, priests, lay persons, and religious who labor daily to serve the Church in her mission. In our time together, help us to listen to one another with understanding. May our thoughts be generous, our words be clear, our plans be hope-filled. May we act with clarity, candor, and conviction. When we leave here, may it be with renewed commitment to support the work of your Church and her pastors. We make this prayer with confidence in your abiding love for your people. Amen.

Robinson ofOverview Activities and Accomplishments (Moderator) Mr. Geoffrey T. Boisi Ms. Susan King Lt. Gen. (ret.) James M. Dubik Ms. Kerry A. Robinson There are two primary purposes for holding this annual gathering. The first is to provide an account of the activity and accomplishments of the Leadership Roundtable since we last gathered one year ago. This is not simply to demonstrate the pride that we feel, or to mention the hard work, dedication, and intelligence with which we have labored to serve the Church and strengthen her temporal affairs. It’s also intended to elicit your strategic feedback. We’re looking to you, our members and experts, for guidance on how we can take the work of the Roundtable to the next level, and to ensure that we are even more effective in making a valuable and relevant contribution to the Church. We want this conference to be very highly interactive. I encourage you to offer us your wisdom and insight throughout our time together. The second purpose is to examine a specific theme relating to the temporal affairs of the Church. As you know, there are three core areas of Leadership Roundtable focus: management, finance, and human resource development. We don’t engage in any of the issues that tend to divide and separate Catholics. Rather, we focus solely on the area of our competency and expertise: the temporal affairs of the Church. We do so as devout Catholics who love the Church and believe that a well-managed, financially transparent, and accountable Church with best practices in human resource develop- ment will carry out her mission much more effectively.

This is especially relevant and corresponds to the Warriors back-to-back championships and their rise from an overlooked team to one of the most popular teams in the National Basketball League (NBA). According to Forbes, the Warriors have gone from NBA obscurity to the third most valuable team in the NBA.

Current Value ($/Mil): $270 Percent Change From Last Year: -8% Arena: Philips Arena Date Built: 1999 Facility Cost ($/Mil): $213.5 Percentage of Arena Publicly Financed: 91% Facility Financing: The facility was financed through $130.75 million in government-backed bonds to be paid back at $12.5 million a year for 30 years.

True North Sports Entertainment relocated the Thrashers to Winnipeg, Manitoba. As of July 2012, it does not appear that the move affected the Philips Arena naming rights deal, © Copyright 2012, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 1 which stipulates Philips Electronics may walk away from the 20-year deal if either the Thrashers or the Hawks leave.
