We are glad you are considering joining leaders of other graduate Christian fellowships in the Ohio Valley for our GFM Ohio Valley Leaders Summit! The idea behind this gathering is to bring together current and future leaders of graduate fellowships for an overnight to think about the vision, personal life, and inter-personal life of a leader–not only with your graduate fellowship, but in your professional life.
Theme: Leading with Joy. Leadership and joy are not often associated with each other. Come join us as we discuss how to lead with joy in the midst of the demands of graduate student life.
You will have the opportunity to learn from InterVarsity staff who work with graduate fellowships, and other leaders. Our time will include good food, a rich fare of training, plenty of time to talk with other leaders, and personal time for reflection in a retreat center setting. Here is a tentative schedule for our time together:
Friday:
- 6:00 Arrive
- 7:00 Dinner
- 8:00 “Who Me, A Leader? Leading with Joy”
