 n\nThere will be three presenters at the conference. On Tuesday afternoon (

 ty Seminary will present on the topic of managing dissonace in a congregati

 tark\, pastor on the staff of Prince of Peace Lutheran\nChurch in Burnsvill
 e\, Mn.\, will present on the topic of Strategic Leadership and Planning. T
 his topic will be helpful as the congregations of Southern Ohio Synod face 
 the challenges of a possible schism within the church. Leadership and plann
 ed ministry are essential if we are to work together.\n\nOn Thursday mornin
 g\, Mr. Bob Clark will be our presenter. Bob is an active\nmember of Grace 
 Lutheran Church in Wessterville\, Ohio. He is also the president of his own
  international company. Bob was invited to present because of a comment mad
 e my Peter Drucker (the ultimate authority on business and non-profit admin
 istration)\; namely\, 90% of the issues and challenges we face are the same
  in every other organization.\n\nBob will talk about the strengths and weak
 nesses he sees and experiences in a\ncongregation. The discussion should le
 ad us to build on our strengths and reduce our\nweaknesses.\n\nAs noted abo
