Position Summary

The Director of the Visitation Salesian Network (VSN) is a collaborative, mission-centered leader who partners with the three Visitation schools in the United States, Georgetown (Washington, D.C.), St. Louis, Missouri, and Mendota Heights, Minnesota, to nurture the Visitation Sisters' founding philosophy of educating minds and hearts through the Gospel-based Salesian Spirituality of St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal.

About the Visitation Salesian Network

For more than thirty-five years, the VSN has cultivated formation programming and strengthened connections among its member schools.
