The Daughters operate under three levels:  International, State, and Local.   The International Circle is the main governing body.  Representatives from all circles meet every two years to elect the International officers who form the Administrative Board.

            The State Circles also come together every two years to elect officers and to implement programs and projects according to the laws and rules of the Constitution.  The Local Circles meet monthly for a business meeting and some circle combine the meeting with a social gathering.  There are presently 25 local circles in Maine. 

            The Maine State Circle and Local Circles are strong supporters of Respect Life projects.  Recognizing the shortage of priests, many circles support the seminarians from the Diocese of Portland through prayers, encouraging cards, and monetary donations.  The youth benefit from the Daughters’ help and support with their projects and all come to understand that there is no generation gap when we work together for a common goal.

            The communities recognize the influence the Daughters of Isabella have in the many projects they initiate to help those in need.  Finally, the Daughters sponsor and support spiritual programs in their parishes.  

            Women who come together in a spirit of Unity, Friendship, and Charity have the pleasure of enjoying each other’s company while reaching out to those in need.
