Emerging Leader Initiative
Our Strategic Objective is to equip emerging leaders to apply their personal faith into actionable steps that impact the marketplace. We do that with a three-track series designed to connect emerging leaders with highly qualified Marketplace Disciplers (MD's) and lead them through proven Christian business content
The Emerging Leader Initiative is a key component in ABBA’s strategy to connect people with purpose. When asking Christian business executives, "What impacted their leadership development?" one answer rises to the top: personal investment from a high-level leader further down the road. We have crafted a program specifically for leaders with a desire to grow spiritually and professionally. All course tracks are steeped in biblical theology with practical applications that can be applied to new or existing for-profit business, non-profit organizations, civic, Christian ministry opportunities, or brand new businesses.
