About Peter Denio
I am the project coordinator for the Standards for Excellence program at the National Leadership Roundtable on Church Management. In addition I serve as the project manager for a Lilly Endowment funded project that combines two Leadership Roundtable initiatives - the Pastor's Toolbox, a week-long management training conference for Catholic priests, and CatholicPastor.org, an online learning community for Catholic priests.
Previously I was the Director of Pastoral Services and Secretariat for the Catholic Common Ground Initiative at the National Pastoral Life Center. Prior to working at the NPLC I was in parish pastoral ministry serving in the areas of religious education and worship.
I received a masters degree in pastoral ministry from Boston College's Institute of Religious Education and Pastoral Ministry and a masters degree in public administration from Seton Hall University. I live in Fair Lawn, New Jersey with my wife, Mary and my three children - Conor, Riley, and Devon.

Hi Peter, The Forum is looking great and I suspect will be a great way to share. Is it possible to have a group for Nonprofits with similar missions? We are going to have some different challenges than a parish or diocese. Keep up the good work.
