"The Leader Board is truly a great forum to hear from significant leadership figures of our time… the content is exceptional. I highly recommend it! "

"We have found our investment in Leader Board to have returns beyond our expectations in both our work life and home life. The meeting structure has allowed us to tap into the remarkable wisdom of Prof Hendricks and other Christian leaders while living miles away in the Nation's Capitol. We feel blessed to be involved."

Kathy & Don Wright, Washington D.C.

What is The Leader Board?

The Leader Board is a series of five half-day leadership development sessions designed to equip marketplace leaders to impact the kingdom of God in their spheres of influence.

Each Leader Board session will feature:

  • Wisdom from the Word – a bible study taught by Dr. Howard Hendricks
  • Two leadership-development presentations from our featured speaker: a keynote address followed by an “up close and personal” interactive session.
  • A post-session enrichment packet with resources to help you apply key leadership principles to your daily life.
  • Opportunities to be encouraged and challenged through interaction with other like-minded marketplace leaders.
