Southeast Asia Institute trains 24 school leaders

OC’s eighth 2008 Institute for Excellence in Christian Leadership Development took place October 6-10 in Klang, Malaysia. The event was hosted by OC partner Malaysia Bible Seminary (MBS). Twenty-four leaders from strategic training programs in the region attended the Institute, representing Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.

The five-day Institute, themed “Leadership Matters,” focused on topics designed to equip participants as more effective school leaders. All presentations and materials were available in English.

“[The sessions and interaction] on leadership issues helped me continue to contextualize my teaching and practice leadership,” one Institute participant said. Because of the Institute, “I will examine my work style, personal discipline and stress management in order to balance my life for long term sustainability and impact…I will also re-examine how I work with my staff…and the health of our team.”

The 2009 Institutes for Excellence will focus on “Nurturing Spiritual Formation in Seminary Students.” The first Institute will take place in March. Look for updates next year.
