On Tuesday, February 3rd, I have the privilege of participating in a ground-breaking Leadership Network event - our first Women's Executive Pastors' Forum. This is a very BIG DEAL. I've been a staffer with Leadership Network for a number of years (more years than some of you have served in ministry careers) and up til now, the number of women executive pastors we knew about was -- well, uh -- practically nil. But that was pre-Sherry Surratt.
What I mean is that Sherry Surratt, Director for Women's Initiatives in Leadership, is doing a phenomenal job of finding and connecting high-level women ministry leaders these days. Sherry has gone where no man (and few women) has gone before! I won't reveal the entire scoop on the Women's Executive Pastor Forum but I will say that the last word I got from Sherry was that 19 women are showing up for this forum. Wow! I had no idea there were 19 female executive pastors out there. I'm sure there are more and no doubt, Sherry will find them.
I'll leave it Sherry to report all the details next week. By the way -- if you aren't reading her blog, Women Who Lead, you should be. And if you aren't following Sherry on twitter, you are missing out big time my friend.
Stay tuned. More coming next week.
