Resources


NAB Emerging Leaders is working to create space for challenging conversations, establish relationships among emerging leaders in the NAB, and provide resources to emerging leaders for the kinds of questions they are facing in ministry. We do this is through doing book studies and periodically hosting webinars. You can check out the Emerging Leader Development Catalogue for more info on how to get involved in these efforts, or you can reach out to Wayne Stapleton.
