WHAT: CEO Summit—Fourty rescue mission executives from across North America will converge on New York City to reflect on the current condition of rescue mission ministry and to consider emerging trends and future opportunities. Moreover, the CEOs will have four formal discussion sessions focused on (1) Centralized versus decentralized growth and corresponding program effectiveness, (2) Understanding and Navigating the “zone of insolvency.” and (3) Post-election positioning for faith-based ministries to the poor.
In addition to the CEO Summit, members will join inMovement Day, an extraordinary city-ministry event with world-class speakers and a wide variety of breakouts.
