Who will be Speaking?

• We are blessed to have Cam Leedahl, a veteran homeschool mom and leader, share with us. Cam is a founding board member of REACH support group in northern Minnesota and serves as a board member on the National Alliance of Christian Home Education Leadership (The Alliance). She will have two sessions with us.

• We will also be hearing from some of MACHE's Board members, as well as several of our amazing liasons. Please come and be blessed!

Workshop topics....

• Session One: Building the Framework of Your Group                         Cam sets out the general principles for a successful support group and helps you target specific applications for your distinctive group. Utilizing the right tools for the job helps to make the construction and maintenance of your group easier.

• Session Two: Leadership Would be Easy if it Weren’t for People    Just as one support group differs from another, so do the types of families in a support group as well as the personal skills and circumstances of those leading that support group. Cam discusses ways to navigate the challenges of support group leadership.

• ... and more! Additional small group times will also provide plenty of opportunities for you to visit, share, pray and network with other leaders!
