CEO Forum

Last year, over 100 CEOs attended our inaugural CEO Forum. This year, our CEO Forum (including CEO Lunch) can fit 120 maximum. For CEOs only, this is a time of insight, networking, and inspiration led by leaders of ministries like yours.
 

Building Ministry Boards

CMA has assembled a panel of gifted and experienced speakers and trainers, to provide sound professional development for Chairs and board members of Churches, Schools and Ministries. From looking after your CEO, to evaluating individual board members, to adapting to ACNC governance requirements - you'll find what you need to lift your governance to the next level.

Exec. Pastors Forum

Church Administrators and Executive Pastors are pivotal in allowing a church to thrive. Our Executive Pastors Forum, including Lunch on Tuesday, is a way to network with others in similar roles, and learn from what others are doing in this vital space.

Perhaps the biggest question of all ...

You might be leading (or seeking) staff & volunteers who want more than just a job. You might be a pastor trying to really equip your congregation for 'every member ministry'. You might be a business person wondering where you fit best in God's plan. Or maybe you are a leader who wonders if your current role is really the best use of your life. At CMA 2013, you'll grapple with one of the biggest, deepest questions you can possibly ask. read more
