Institute for Excellence in Christian Leadership Development

The Institute for Excellence in Christian Leadership Development is an international forum developed by OC to strengthen leadership skills and organizational expertise for presidents, deans and other senior administrators at partner institutions. Since the first Institute in 1999, more than 1,150 leaders from 236 institutions representing 96 countries have participated.

Under the oversight of Dr. Scott Cunningham, OC’s Dean of Leadership Development, the goal of future Institutes is to become increasingly transformational, relevant, integrated, focused, evaluated, cost-effective and donor-friendly. The Institutes are designed to significantly contribute to school development, so identifying specific needs, reinforcing goals and establishing a culture of evaluation help accomplish and effectively implement growth and transformation for these regions of the world.

In 2010, OC will hold 7 Institutes for leaders of strategic training centers around the world. The Institute theme will be “Re-envisioning Seminary-Church Relationships.”
