The Leader Board

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 their spheres of influence for the kingdom of God.

Each Leader Board session will feature:

  • Leadership Lessons from the bible study on leadership principles from Scripture taught by Dallas Theological Seminary professors
  • Two leadership-development presentations from our featured speaker—a keynote address followed by an "up close and personal" interactive session
  • Access to The Leader Board enrichment website 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
