As Innovation3 approaches I’m looking forward to hearing from a handful of the most innovative female Christian leaders we can gather all in one place as Dallas hosts the Leadership Network’s Innovation3 Gathering! Since, I’ve been invited to live blog the event along with Tony Morgan and Carlos Whittaker, you’ll hear more details soon. But for now, I want to focus on the amazing list of female Christian leaders coming to Innovation3.
From Nancy Ortberg, founding partner of Teamworx and author of Looking for God, and Unleashing the Power of Rubberbands, to Laurie Beshore, Pastor of Outreach Ministry at Mariners Church that engages over 6000 volunteers in service to the poor and needy in Orange County, CA and around the world, you’ll learn from and interact with some very sharp women, all in one place, the Innovation3 Gathering!
In addition to Nancy and Laurie, you’ll meet:
- Bambi Encarnacion, Director of The Encore Ministry, First Evangelical Free Church, Fullerton, CA
- Missy Hannon, Executive Pastor and Director of The God Network, Living Hope, Seattle, WA
- Jennifer Lefforge, Experience Architect, Irving Bible Church, Irving, TX
- Linda Slaton, Release Pastor, Fellowship Bible Church, Little Rock, AR
- Teresa McBean, Director of Recovery Ministries, NorthStar Community Church, Richmond, VA
- Dawn Nicole Baldwin, CEO of Aspire One
- Anne Jackson, Author and Pastor, Cross Point Church, Nashville, TN
- Wendy Ferrin, Women’s Ministry Director, Salem Alliance Church, Salem, OR
- Claudia McGuire, Women’s Ministry Director, Chase Oaks Fellowship, Richardson, TX
- Sibyl Towner, Spritual Formation Pastor, Willow Creek, Chicago, Ill
You will also network with other great women leaders, like Sherry Surratt (Director of Women’s Initiative at Leadership Network, previously Central Support Pastor at Seacoast Church), for example, who can inspire and challenge your ministry.
Sherry and I are hosting a tweet up so if you’d like to join us for dinner on the Monday night before the event, simply contact us at http://twitter.com/sherrysurratt or http://twitter.com/cynthiaware. Of course, you don’t have to twitter to come, but once we’re done with you, you will.
There is still time to register online: Innovation3 - register online if you are anywhere near Dallas.
