Interfaith & Nonprofit Leadership Conference Open!

SAN DIEGO LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

“Leadership is the capacity to influence others through inspiration motivated by passion, generated by vision, produced by a conviction, ignited by a purpose.” - Myles MunroeJuly 28th and 29thEarly Registration Rate Starting at $125.00One Day Only at $75.00

It is hard to grow in dry places. The ability to thrive in climates that go against growth is an amazing attribute of a leader. When you join us in San Diego, the planned program is not a training it is another level! Fathers & Families Coalition of America has been fortunate to work with so many different talented individuals to provide programs from tribal nations in Alaska to an attendee who flew from Japan and a couple from Australia. Unequivocally, this is going to be the deepest transformational event we have ever hosted over the past 18 years!

Front line services to children and families must be educated, trained, supported, and developed professionally in innovative ways to achieve better outcomes for children and families. However, what good is it to have workers, elders, ministers, volunteers and others when a leader needs to invest in themselves. This conference is more than about you that will join us but a transformational opportunity to grow your purpose inwardly, close relationships, family, employees and professional purpose.

We Have Failed Our Children-Now What Is Needed For Their Futures Presented By Fathers & Families Coalition of America

We Have Failed Our Children

 Now What Is Needed For Their Futures - Prevention, Intervention and Emerging Models

Presented By Fathers & Families Coalition of America 

The distinctive of Fathers & Families Coalition of America is the introduction of very important grounded principles. However, do we hold to principles, evidence based interventions, best practices or so dogmatic to serve people without a greater understanding that the models that were very impactful in 1980 may not transform the lives of others in 2016. We brought some of the finest experts to test each of us to improve services to children and families. The test to pass is how to take this information and expand your model that you are using today. Is the model holistic for today's family? Listen to these leaders and the revelations to increase your capacity. Holding to principles, models or restrictions from grants do they impact the people you serve?
