Intentional Leadership Groups

Elevate your leadership skills to new heights by joining a supportive network of like-minded colleagues and friends.

The 2023-2024 season of Intentional Leadership Groups (ILGs) will be dedicated to fostering inspiration and growth through meaningful connections with others who share similar aspirations. These groups warmly welcome all camp and conference leaders affiliated with the Outdoor Ministries Connection (OMC).

In each ILG, participants come together in open discussion cohorts, where individuals convene the meetings but the group collectively guides the discussions. These gatherings typically occur once a month for 9 months, from September through May (unless otherwise specified). In a rapidly changing world that demands adaptive leadership, this model of open discussion cohorts empowers you and your group to explore topics that are most relevant to your development and success.

Choose from the following program cohorts:

Creation Justice, Nonprofit Management, Productivity, Program Director’s Cohort, United Methodist Executives & Conference CRM Staff, Summer Staffing Strategies, Women in Leadership, Balancing Family & Ministry, and Disciple Bible Study.

These groups are organized through the Outdoor Ministries Connection and are affiliated with United Methodist Camp and Retreat Ministries, PCCCA, Episcopal Camps and Conference Centers, Lutheran Outdoor Ministries, Outdoor Ministries Institute and OMA-UCC.
