Twenty-three leaders gather in Pune, India: “My school will benefit from what I learned here”

OC’s eleventh and final 2008 Institute for Excellence in Christian Leadership Development  took place November 3-7 in Pune, India. The event was hosted by OC partner Union Biblical Seminary (UBS). Twenty-three leaders from strategic training programs in the region attended the Institute, representing Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

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.

“This Institute helped me to know where I am and in what direction I need to go,” one Institute participant said. “Thank you very much for your encouragement to be an effective leader in developing a team and the seminary to achieve the vision of our Lord.” Other comments included, “My school will benefit from what I learned here” and “The stress management was very helpful subject, as I always face stress in my leadership position. Thank you for such important Institutes.”
