North Wisconsin District Resources: Happenings in the Education
FacebookFacebook

 A New Look
You will notice a new look and new organization to the District Resource newsletters. A separate newsletter will be created: monthly for Pastors/Church leaders, monthly for Stewardship leaders, and 2x a month for Principals/school leaders. This is in addition to the monthly Happenings which will be written for everyone in the NWD. To receive any or all of the newsletters, watch for sign-up coming soon.



 District Resources
It is my job to encourage, network and equip leaders in schools and churches. To what end? To have healthy workers leading healthy churches, doing missions. Mission, vision, strategic planning is one way I can help. Working through change and leading board training are others. Connecting you to successful people and programs is another. Email or call anytime.



 The District Resource Team
While President Lueck leads the District, he personally guides the direction of congregations and assigns Schools to DJ, Stewardship to Dennis, and Finances to Paul. Lori runs the office and Stacy supports her part time. Mark, Dan and Lee also support the work in the District. Check out all the players on the district website at: http://nwdlcms.org/staff.html
