“Tools For Effective Leadership”

Woodlands Conference Center

Williamsburg, Virginia

November 16 & 17, 2012

Expect to come away renewed, refreshed, inspired, and energized by this unique opportunity to meet and hear from Doug Bartsch,  homeschool dad and pastor of His Place Family Church in Spring, Texas.  Doug’s practical wisdom is gleaned from real leadership experiences and great mentors such as Dean Radtke of the Ministry Institute. Doug has a background in accounting and business and has a passion for helping fellow leaders–he will share spiritual insights that can transform your life and your support group!

In addition, there will be highly interactive times together that will give you an opportunity to receive–and give–practical, helpful, nuts-and-bolts information. Whether you are struggling in your leadership role, or have it all under control, you can bring your challenges–and your wisdom–to share!
