Invitation to Lead
Lead with Heart. Serve with Purpose.
What is “Invitation to Lead”? Are you serving — or considering serving — as a Conference President or Vice President? “Invitation to Lead” is designed just for you and required for any Presidents and Vice Presidents who’ve never attended before. Together, we’ll explore the key responsibilities of these roles — from guiding productive meetings, inspiring members, to executing plans that strengthen your neighbors in need.
But this is more than just a “how-to” session — it’s an opportunity to grow as a servant leader in the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul. You’ll learn how to:
- Foster a welcoming, encouraging atmosphere for all members
- Identify and develop the gifts and talents of your fellow Vincentians
- Promote and strengthen Vincentian spirituality within your Conference
- Lead with both compassion and competence
- Share leadership and decision-making while inspiring action
Why It Matters
Strong, well-equipped leaders make for strong, effective Conferences. As a President or Vice President, your ability to serve, inspire, and guide others directly impacts the lives of neighbors in need. This training will give you practical tools, spiritual enrichment, and a network of fellow leaders to support your journey.
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.
