Dear Friends, Partners, and Supporters of ICLE,
We are writing to share an important leadership update from the Institute for Catholic Liberal Education (ICLE). Dr. Ryan Messmore concluded his tenure as President on May 8. We wish him well in his future endeavors.
As we enter this next chapter, ICLE is exceptionally well-positioned to maintain its strong momentum across the country in our mission to support and renew Catholic education in the Church’s intellectual tradition. During this time of transition, contact Vice President Danny Flynn for any inquiries.
Concurrently, the Board of Directors plans to initiate a swift and thorough search for our next president to lead ICLE into its next phase of growth.
Thank you for your continued partnership, trust, and prayers as we move forward together in the renewal of Catholic education.
In Christ the Teacher,
The Board of Directors and ICLE’s Leadership Team
Institute for Catholic Liberal Education
