We Had a Fantastic Fall Conference
Wow!! What a turnout! The Lord continues to amaze me at how he is blessing the efforts of everyone at BlueWatch. Attendance at this year’s leadership conference exceeded all expectations. We broke another record. There were 121 officers in attendance representing over 30 agencies from across the state. Overall total, counting volunteers and guests, was over 140 in attendance. For 19 agencies, it was their first time to attend one of our events and some drove well over two hours to get here. Each of the five speakers brought their own unique style and spoke of their own experiences and how humility had played an important role in their life.
It was a great day of learning, networking and fellowship as the officers learned about the greatest of all leadership principles, humility. Here are just a few of the many positive comments shared at the conclusion of the day’s events; “Very good training”, “ I really enjoyed the enthusiasm the speakers displayed” and “the class will assist me as a leader.”
Plans are already underway for our Spring Conference and other learning events in the year ahead. Please be in prayer for these efforts and help us spread the word about the mission of Blue Watch.
