Leadership Tips & Training Leadership Spotlight

Hi Nancy!

My name is Sandy Dybdahl. I'm a new leader at Gloria Dei in Houston. I created a nice bookmark; silver with nine different colored beads to represent the 9 commitments. Hoping this will go over well; will let you know. We also asked all members at the first meeting to bring nonperish able items that shouldn't be in their pantries and we will donate them to the food bank. We are giving a small prize to the person bringing in the most items . I'm excited to be a new leader and felt very energized following the Leadership Summit meeting.
