“
A Conference about Developing Leadership in a Time of Uncertainty
Location:
?The Carter Center, Emory University – Atlanta, Georgia
Date
and time:
October 27, 2005
from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM
The program is jointly sponsored by the Georgia Humanities
Council (GHC) and the Georgia Servant Leadership Alliance.
The purpose
of the program is to begin a conversation among those involved
with leadership and citizenship programs in higher education
on the implications of human development for our work. In the
morning portion of the program, Professor James Fowler of Emory
University, author of Stages of Faith and other important works
will speak on human development, spiritual growth, and ideas
of leadership. In the afternoon Dr. Brian Hall, author of Values
Shift: A Guide to Personal and Organizational Transformation,
will explore how individuals and organizations identify and
cultivate their values.
Each presentation
will be followed by a moderated discussion led by Andy Fleming,
formerly of the Emory Ethics Center and currently a consultant
and founder of the Generative Leadership Institute. Andy has
written and spoken widely on the nature of vocation and calling
in contemporary life. He will be asking questions such as:
In
the long-term, what is the measure of success of your programs
that seek to develop leaders and citizens?
What values are you trying to promote?
What are the implications of the work of Fowler and Hall for
our ongoing programs?
What does it mean to think about leadership and citizenship
within a developmental framework?
How do institutions and individuals come to hold the values
of servant leadership?
What are the questions and implications of the presentations
for institutions of higher learning?
By the end
of the day, participants will have explored the kinds of values
that Leadership and Citizenship programs seek to promote, and
how personal development in a college-age population can link
with, test, or challenge these leadership objectives. In the
process we are hopeful of building a sense of community and
momentum among all interested parties—and beginning to
generate ongoing communities of practice.
Participants
are responsible for their own travel expenses. The Forum sponsors
will provide continental breakfast and complimentary lunch.
The program will be recorded and, if warranted, a summary will
be published in early 2004.
Please
RSVP by September 24 with your name, and two others, to Jamila
Owens at the Georgia Humanities Council: (404)523-6220 ext.
12, or jrsmith@georgiahumanities.org
As we get
closer to the date of the Forum, we will circulate suggestions
for reading, as well as a “values inventory”
survey developed by Brian Hall for those who wish to participate.
Please feel
free to contact either of us if you have any questions. With
best wishes,

The 2005 Georgia LeaderShape Institute
July 31st - August 5th, 2005
The Georgia Servant Leadership Alliance ( www.servantleadershipalliance.org ) is pleased to announce the 2005 LeaderShape Georgia Institute. LeaderShape ( www.leadershape.org ) is a nationally renowned leadership development program for college students.
What is the Leadershape Institute?
The LeaderShape Institute was originally developed as a means of improving campus leadership, and now serves young adults in a variety of organizations nationwide. To date, over 18,000 participants from colleges, universities, and corporations from across the country have attended The LeaderShape Institute. This unique six-day program is conducted each summer at various locations nationwide. Each session is comprised of approximately 60 men and women—ages 17 to 25—sponsored by various organizations and colleges from diverse ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds. The majority of this highly interactive program is done in groups where everyone is a teacher and a learner. In each session, these young leaders from across the state will learn with and from one another about how they can “make a difference” in their campuses, communities, organizations, and causes.
LeaderShape facilitators will utilize the standard LeaderShape curriculum, but will place a special emphasis on the servant leadership model. James Hunter, author of The Servant: A Simple Story of the True Essence of Leadership, will be a guest speaker.
When and Where:
The dates for the program are July 31st to August 5th. The site for this year's program is Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School ( www.rabungap.org ). Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School is a remarkable community nestled on a 1400-acre campus in the mountains of northeast Georgia between Clayton, Georgia and Franklin, North Carolina. Founded in 1903, Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School has a rich history of preparing young people from a range of backgrounds for a lifetime of purpose and service.
