2) Improve And Upgrade Your Ministry With Volunteers —

brigtoday — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 04:58:48 +0000

The High Impact Executive Course (E1) is an intensive 3-day training event for leaders who work with volunteers. Led by Al Newell and Associates, the same people who have trained the staff, leaders and volunteers of Voice of the Martyrs, Samaritans Purse (Operation Christmas Child), and Compassion International, to name a few, plus many others. It’s a Biblical model for working with volunteers, revealing the best practices for recruiting, selecting, training, leading and developing volunteers and volunteer leaders. Many who take this training and implement the principles have seen immediate and continued improvement and effectiveness in their volunteer ministries.

This training is among the best in the country. Normally it costs $795 per person to register, if you simply attend a normal random E1. But, on a first-come, first-served basis, a limited number of Brigada readers can attend for $575.00 per person. It’s being staged in Louisville, KY at the Fairfield Inn and Suites on the east side of the city (Exit 17, I-64). It’ll start on the evening of April 15th, 2012

and finishes on Wednesday April 18th around 5:00 p.m.

You have the evenings free. If you’re interested — Inform Eric by February 5th by emailing

ederryteamexpansionorg or calling 502-813-2046 (tell him that you heard about it on Brigada). He will send you a link, and you will need to then Register On-line using that link. You’ll then pay Team Expansion, thereby becoming part of our “block” of tickets. We’ll pay High Impact with one check. If you don’t register by the deadline but want to attend later, no problem. Register directly at the $795.00 price up until the day of the event as long as there are open seats (max capacity is approximately 50). In this case, just go to …
