This is more than an executive leadership role - it's an opportunity to help shape the future of a ministry that is equipping leaders to become faithful Kingdom leaders.

If one is a Christ-centered leader who is energized by developing people, building healthy organizations, and advancing God's work through the marketplace, we encourage you to prayerfully consider the opportunity.

If an applicant senses God may be calling them to lead Legacy Leadership Forums into its next season of impact, we'd love to begin a conversation.
