WINCHESTER, Va., Jan. 10, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- CEO Dialogues, a roundtable program for ministry executives, has come under the umbrella of ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability), which will give leadership to the program founded to help CEOs pursue biblical excellence in nonprofit service. Ed Morgan has been named program director.
The CEO Dialogues program will enrich the growing number of Christ-centered ministries and churches across America that have earned the right to display the ECFA seal, said Dan Busby, ECFA president. But leaders from all Christian nonprofits are also encouraged to participate.
"With more than 1,600 ECFA accredited members, we are eager to leverage this powerful one-day roundtable tool to further bless and equip both our member CEOs and hundreds of others CEOs from Christian organizations across the nation," Busby said. "It is an honor for ECFA to be trusted with leadership of this program, which is open to leaders of all Christ-centered charities."
"As the demands of this ministry continued to grow, we began looking for an organization that could take the leadership baton and make this unique program even more effective," said Bob Andringa, co-founder and chairman of the CEO Dialogues board. "It's a perfect fit for ECFA, and our trustees are delighted ECFA will build on the legacy of co-founder Ted Engstrom.
The dates and locations for four CEO Dialogues roundtables in 2012 are March 21 in Brea, Calif.; April 10 in Orlando, Fla.; Sept. 13 in Atlanta; and October 16 in Dallas.
Since 1993 Morgan has been president and CEO of The Bowery Mission and Kids With A Promise, based in New York City. Under Morgan's leadership, these ministries and their parent organization, Christian Herald Association, have reorganized, focused on an outcomes-based purpose statement, built three of New York City's most effective homelessness recovery programs and tripled their incomes.
Prior to his current post at the mission, Morgan served 20 years with General Electric. He managed communications for top GE officers, won several management awards and founded an award-winning customer magazine.
"Helping CEOs pursue biblical excellence in nonprofit service" was the vision of Engstrom, then president of World Vision, who had networked CEOs in regional one-day roundtables. Since its founding in 1992, CEO Dialogues has served almost 1,000 CEOs nationwide. Further information about its history and recent dialogues is posted at www.CEODialogues.org.
