Description This course will introduce you to the core leadership essentials and foundational building blocks of the association and alliance ministry model. You’ll discover why the leadership competencies and organizational structures of alliances and associations are dramatically different from other models. Using the expertise and best practices of selected General Secretaries and leaders of many of WEA’s National Evangelical Alliances, you will develop a philosophy of alliance/association leadership and explore the core competencies required of alliance/association leaders, staff members, board members and key volunteers. The course will also present the basic leadership and management core competencies for building and sustaining a membership-based National Evangelical Alliance using the most effective association model for your alliance from the five operating models presented. The sessions will also include highly practical tools and templates that you can begin using immediately. This course can be taken as part of the Certificate in Association Leadership of the WEA Leadership Institute or separately.
