Who’s Who on the Women’s Task Force Teams

People regularly ask us, “So what is the deal with this One Task Force/Two Teams” thing? I’m always happy to answer that! The deal is that we want to encourage and resource women called to senior leadership while giving equal value and time to the other group of us who are called to other kinds of leadership and service, and this way, we each get to concentrate on just one important area while collaborating wherever possible!

The Coordinators:

Dianne Leman, Co-Senior Pastor at Vineyard Community Church in Urbana, Illinois
