The Importance of Educating Leaders During Transitional Times

Educating leaders who guide organizations through transitions has become vital for their success. IMN is dedicated to offering programs that strengthen this ministry for both clergy and lay leaders. Many of these initiatives are rooted in the Fundamentals of Transitional Leadership training framework. Occasionally, IMN collaborates with other organizations to provide its visitors and members with a comprehensive curriculum.
