- Friday, July — A Workshops — 1:00 pm— 2:45 pm
- While there are many considerations in compensation planning, there are some core principles that should be acknowledge in the planning. Understanding these core building blocks assists churches in planning compensation for all staff positions, but these building blocks are especially crucial in planning executive compensation packages. Whether a church has 1 employee or 200 employees, these core concepts should be addressed in creating compensation plans.
- Friday, July 12 — B Workshops — 3:45pm – 5:30pm
- Great leadership and great decisions start with great data. In this session you will experience 7 tracking charts that tell a story. Each chart builds on each other and will give you important financial metrics that you can use to see where you have been and where you are going financially in the church. Each participant will receive a workbook to use in class and have later to use in your church setting.
- Saturday, July 13 — C Workshops — 1:00pm – 2:45pm
Session E5- Retirement Planning for Your Facility, Tim Cool
- Are you planning for your personal retirement? Maybe you have an IRA or 401k. That is great. Are you equally as prudent with the retirement planning for the components of your facility? The reality is that you will “retire” (I.e. replace) nearly every physical component of your church facility. You will retire every HVAC unit. You will retire every roof and parking space. Retirement can also involve looking for ways of enjoying life without working as hard. In the facility world, this could the inclusion of system automation and integrations. If you are looking to improve your facility retirement planning and long-term life cycle, join us for Retirement Planning Workshop.
- Sunday, July 14— E Workshops — 8:30am — 10:15am
