Description:

The HOPE Leadership Summit (HLS) is a high energy, high impact event for aspiring leaders, volunteers, and young people throughout the DC Metro area. It is a prelude to our 3 day leadership conference, Momentum, that brings together young leaders to equip them and inspire them with the tools they need to grow into the leaders this world needs them to be.

Through several prominent guest lecturers and keynote speakers, attendees are exposed to a vast spectrum of different leadership experiences based on a specific topic or aspect of leadership. We also aim to use the Leadership Summit as a networking event to tie in attendees to various opportunities for service throughout the DC Metro area. By joining aspiring influencers to community groups, the Summit will build bridges in our communities, develop positive networking opportunities, equip and inspire others to respond to the great need to get involved in their local churches and communities, and to ultimately, make a difference. Quite simply put ...People's Passions meeting People's Needs

Guest speakers include Andy Shallal, founder and owner of Busboys and Poets Restaurant, Joshua Symonette, campus pastor for National Community Church and former NFL football player with the Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins, and more.
