The Global Leadership Summit held on August 11-12, 2016, was an exciting and motivational event for the staff and inmates at Rivers Correctional Institution (RCI). There were fifty inmates identified to participate in the Summit. Forty-two actually participated, along with five staff members.
The Global Leadership Summit is a two-day event telecast Live from Willow’s campus near Chicago every August to hundreds of locations in North America. The Global Leadership Summit has pioneering pastors and leaders from around the world who lecture about leadership, intentional skill development and experiences that help local churches thrive.
Chaplain Askew served as the facilitator for the two-day Summit. The inmates were very enthusiastic about having the opportunity to experience such an event. They took notes and followed up with discussion. Several inmates expressed how appreciative they were for the Global Leadership Summit coming to RCI. When asked if they wanted more opportunities like the Global Leadership Summit, they gave a resounding yes! RCI is looking forward to next year's Global Leadership Summit.
