“Our country is in great need of a generation of mature, godly leaders who are committed to building into the lives of emerging leaders in all spheres of society,” shares Ray Hilbert, CEO of Truth@Work. “In a word, we need discipleship. One leader investing into the life of another – and this nation can be strengthened – one leader at a time.”
A few years ago, Truth@Work began to expand its EDGE Mentoring initiative to equip a new generation of emerging leaders. EDGE provides structure, support and curriculum while it forms mentoring relationships between seasoned godly leaders and emerging leaders in the marketplace, said officials.
Today, EDGE has expanded to over 25 states, and now has over 200 mentoring relationships that are transforming the marketplace.The “America’s Best Hope” event will inspire, encourage, challenge, and motivate individuals to be proactive toward building a nation of godly leaders, said officials.
The leadership event is expected to be attended live by 2,000 leaders and thousands more at remote broadcast locations.
“People will be amazed at the incredible lineup of speakers assembled for this event,” says EDGE Mentoring Executive Director Dave Neff. “It is a very rare opportunity to hear from such a powerful group of leadership experts from a variety of fields of expertise in one day – and particularly at the very low cost to attend. We believe this is truly going to be a life-changing event that will have a ripple effect across our culture. Attendees at this event will come away with a renewed sense of energy and commitment to engaging in building relationships and mentoring a new generation of emerging leaders.”
Registration is required prior to the event and is $49 per person.
