The 2010 Leadership Academy provided more than 30 high level staff from Lutheran social ministry organizations with

  • An understanding of hallmarks of Lutheran organizations.
  • Essential skills in how to be a good steward of resources and evaluate financial results.
  • The ability to plan for the future by setting strategic directions, forging alliances and managing in difficult times.
  • Techniques for leadership in the 21st century and breakthrough moments to move from managing to leading.
  • The ability to build a growth plan for their respective leadership journeys.
  • Strong connections with other aspiring leaders around the nations to help support them in their leadership development.

The reoccuring message heard during the academy was, "I wish more of more coworkers could be here to experience this. This was truly worth the investment."
