The North American Province of the Sisters of the Divine Savior has “team governance.”  This means that three women together help to lead the Province.  Sister Marion Etzel,  SDS is the Provincial, or leader of the team elected  in 2003.  Sister Marion  helps to represent our Sisters to the public. Her role along with others on the administrative team is to animate and coordinate the lives and ministries of the Congregation's members. She brings to her leadership a rich background from working in universities and civic music boards as well as teaching at all levels.  Sister Marion is well-known to the sisters for her sense of fun, ability to travel and her love of Chicago as well as Georgia.  Sister Marion never forgets those whom she has met and with whom she has ministered!
