2023 SUMMIT THEME

TEAMS UNITED IN EXCELLENCE

Excellence is to perform at the upper range of your talent and skill. It is a refusal to settle for mediocrity, to be just “good enough.” It means that whatever our hand finds to do, we do it with all of our might, to the glory of God, for the greatest impact on those we serve and lead.

We live in a very “mediocre” world. Many people are content to simply put in their time without applying their best effort. For the leader, this is intolerable. Leaders are meant to inspire, to drive, to bring people to a level of performance that reveals their best and highest abilities. Leaders who settle for less will diminish their influence and demotivate their teams.

Join us at this year’s Hudson Valley Leadership Summit and discover the uncompromising value of uniting your team in the pursuit of excellence. Learn to define excellence and how to achieve it in your culture. Our keynote speaker is Doug Clay, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God. His commitment to excellence has been an inspiration to our generation. Don’t miss this opportunity to take your leadership to a new level of excellence.
