Willow Creek Association’s Leadership Summit Comes to the Coachella Valley

INDIAN WELLS--You are invited to attend an exclusive training experience and join thousands of leaders across North America for The Leadership Summit 2009—CCN Edition on August 14-15, 2009 at Southwest Community Church. This is the first time the Leadership Summit has come to the Coachella Valley and you don’t want to miss it! This annual conference was formed over a decade ago by Willow Creek Association and it exists to transform Christian leaders around the world with an injection of vision, skill development, and inspiration.

When it comes to choosing speakers for this conference, WCA’s goal is to choose leaders from a variety of disciplines including ministry, not-for-profit, academia, sports, marketplace, government, etc. At each Summit, they strive to find leaders and experts that will not only deliver practical skills but also stretch church leaders as they seek to develop their unique gift of leadership. This program is designed for your entire leadership team—staff and volunteers, key influencers and innovators within the community (including state and county workers as well as businessmen), emerging leaders and students with leadership gifts. It’s also a great outreach opportunity to bring leaders who wouldn’t otherwise step into a church setting.

To give people an idea of what they can expect, Southwest will host two FREE “Taste of Leadership Summit” events on Wednesday, June 24 at 6:30PM and Tuesday, July 14 at 6:30PM.

The Leadership Summit 2009 video simulcast will be hosted at Southwest Community Church on August 14-15, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM both days. Walk-in registration is $109, but early bird and group pricing is available online at www.southwestcc.org/leadershipsummit. Call Shawna Koon at (760) 200-2000 Ext. 2223 for more information.
