We collaborated on a book about our ten years together as Area Director and Committee Chair. Initially concluding our difficult experience was unique, we’ve realized our experience is too common, even pervasive. Young Life Area Directors experience their work with so much hope but, too often, lonesomeness as well.
Our story hovers around the challenging but ultimately thriving relationship between the Area Director and the Committee Chair.
So many Area Directors find Committee to be inadequate, inconsequential, or worse, a bother not worth the effort.
We demonstrated the Area Director/Committee Chair relationship offers Young Life Staff and Areas under appreciated potency.
Build a Relationship Strong Enough to bear the Weight of the Opportunity!
“Might be the most important book in Young Life in the last twenty-five years.”
