Invitation to Lead

Lead with Heart. Serve with Purpose.

Secretaries are the record keepers, communicators, and organizational anchors of the Conference. “Invitation to Lead” is an annual convening of Secretaries or those who’ve never attended before. Whether you’re new to the role or a seasoned Vincentian, this training will help you:

  • Hold productive Conference meetings
  • Take clear, accurate meeting minutes
  • Keep records organized and up to date
  • Store basic information in CMS and the National Member Portal
  • Enhance communication between your parish and Conference

Why It Matters
Keep our mission on track. Strong Secretaries build strong Conferences — and strong Conferences change lives. Attend “Invitation to Lead for Secretaries” to gain practical skills, offer ideas, and connect with fellow officers who share your dedication

Step into your leadership role with confidence, deeper purpose, and a servant’s heart.

How to Attend
Invitation to Lead is offered twice annually at the SVdP Georgia Conference Support Center in Chamblee. Attend in-person or remotely via Zoom. Specify your preference when registering.
