Front Porch Alliance to Hold Leadership Summit
Mayor to Address Leaders of Faith and Community Organizations

INDIANAPOLIS – (October 3, 2008) On Wednesday, November 19, the Front Porch Alliance will hold a leadership summit in response to requests from local faith and community leaders to have access to information that will help them serve the community better. Participants will be able to attend specialized sessions that focused on topics including: working with government, working with the media, networking with neighborhoods, team building, addiction recovery and mentoring. There will also be sessions presented in Spanish.

“These sessions are open to anyone who is leading an organization or might have an idea for a new program. We are excited about the opportunity for leaders to talk with others who have been successfully running sustainable organizations,” said Douglas Hairston, Director of the Front Porch Alliance. “While the Front Porch has been attending other training sessions around the city with churches and organizations, we hope this will be the beginning of several trainings each year that will ‘Educate, Connect and Enhance’ organizations who are serving our communities.”
