AMD Leadership Academy Registration

Registration is now open; please respond soon.

DISABILITY LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
AUGUST 1 – 3, 2018 in WASHINGTON, DC

The United Methodist Association of Ministers with Disabilities presents:
Disability Leadership Academy: Taking Our Place at the Table

Wednesday, August 1st 4pm – 9pm
Thursday, August 2nd 9am – 9pm
Friday, August 3rd 9am – 12pm

Location: the Kellogg Conference Hotel on the campus of Gallaudet University in Washington, DC

For information and registration, go to
www.umdisabledministers.org/meeting/2018.html

The United Methodist Association of Ministers with Disabilities recognizes that people with disabilities are often forgotten when it comes to leadership development and training. This conference is designed to bring us together for training, conversation and strategic thinking with leaders in the church from the General Board of Church and Society, the General Commission on Religion and Race, and the Lewis Center for Leadership Development at Wesley Theological Seminary. Taking our place at the table as leaders with disabilities in the local church, in our conferences, jurisdictions, and the global church is a justice issue. Our goal is to learn to work collaboratively with others who have been marginalized by the church, so that together, we can work to effect change as we include everyone in building the kingdom of God.
