New podcast from the In Trust Center

 

The In Trust Center introduces a new podcast focusing on good governance of theological schools. The new series kicks off with Dr. Rebekah Basinger, director of the center’s Wise Stewards Initiative, and initiative coaches, who discuss finding a new normal, how to orient a board, and how to assess a board. 

    How to have the hard conversations and face challenging decisions

    In response to requests for confidential space to explore potential school closure, the In Trust Center has created the on-demand webinar “Finishing Well: When Leading Means Leaving.” In this recorded webinar, experts help leaders frame the issues and walk through when to start the tough conversation and many of the what-ifs.
