SUMMARY:Board & C-Suite Execution Intensive
DESCRIPTION:A Strategy-to-Execution Alignment Lab for Mission Organizations \nInvitation \nMissio Nexus\, in partnership with Catapult\, invites you to a highly practical\, 1.5-day working intensive designed to bring CEO’s/Executive Directors\, boards and executive teams into the same operating model—clarifying how execution actually happens and what healthy accountability looks like without micromanagement. \nWhy This Event Exists \nMany mission organizations have strong vision\, sound strategy\, and committed leaders—yet still struggle to translate direction into consistent results. This event is built around one core question – How do boards and executive teams work together to ensure strategy turns into execution—faithfully\, clearly\, and sustainably? \nThis is not a conference and not a lecture series. It is a facilitated alignment lab where leaders learn\, engage\, and leave with concrete next steps. \nWhy You Want to Participate \nThis 1.5-day working intensive focuses on execution and accountability. Close the gap between strategy and results—together as we develop a clear\, shared tactical plan that will identify the 2-4 ways in the next 12-months you can shrink the gap between vision and execution. When your board and senior leaders are in the same room\, learning the same things\, at the same time\, decisions get made faster and they stick. That is why we designed this for teams\, not individuals. When strategy is clear—but results still lag—the challenge is almost always execution. \nParticipant Profile \n\nCEOs / Executive Directors\nC-Suite leaders (COO\, CFO\, CXO roles)\nSecond-chair leaders / Integrators\nBoard members (not limited to board chairs)\n\nThis experience is designed for teams\, not just individuals. When more people share understanding—not just responsibility—organizations experience greater innovation in problem-solving\, faster and wiser decision-making\, and stronger alignment between governance and execution. \nIdeal pairings include: \n\nA Board Chair or Board Member attending alongside the CEO/ED\nA CEO attending with senior leaders who help execute vision and mission\nExecutive teams attending together to build shared language and trust\n\nBoards gain insight into how executive teams execute—not so they can manage operations\, but so they can govern and support with wisdom. \nSenior leaders gain clarity around what boards need in order to provide healthy accountability and encouragement. \nWhen boards and leaders do this work together\, execution improves—and the organization moves forward with greater unity and confidence. \nWhat You Will Leave With \nEvery team will build a Tactical Action Plan (TAP) during the event: \n\nThe 2–4 highest-impact execution priorities for the next 12 months that are\nClear ownership and accountability\nA follow-up checkpoint placed on the calendar before you leave\n\nThis is not theory—it is execution practice. \nEvent Schedule \nTuesday\, November 17 – Alignment & Orientation (12:30–5:00 PM) \n\nFraming the Well-Managed Organization\nThe Pioneer / Builder (Visionary / Integrator) dynamic—how leadership teams work together effectively\nAn interactive overview of Catapult’s Impact Operating System\n\nWednesday\, November 18 – Execution & Application (9:00 AM–3:30 PM) \n\nDeep dives into 2–4 execution components\, selected via a pre-event assessment\nGuided work sessions with role-specific\, mixed\, and team-based breakouts\nStructured interaction designed for learning\, connecting and engaging for ministry impact.\n\nSpeakers \n \nMichael VanHuis\, Executive Director\, Missio Nexus \nMichael VanHuis and his wife Laura have served as field missionaries in Ghana\, West Africa and in international and home office leadership with Pioneers.  He has also served as the mission’s pastor and chief of staff at Northland Church.  Prior to coming to Missio Nexus he managed a private family foundation and served as Vice President for OneWay Ministries.  Michael is passionate about leadership and helping to liberate leaders and organizations to reach their full potential. Michael holds a Masters in Global Leadership from Fuller School of Intercultural Studies. \n  \n \nTodd Milby\, CEO\, The Catapult Group \nAfter more than twenty years of pastoring and church planting\, Todd founded Catapult in 2015. Since then\, he has worked alongside leaders to help clarify vision and align strategy. His work has spanned organizations ranging from local churches to faith-based nonprofits to global Fortune 500 companies and NGOs.\nTodd’s approach centers on identifying where organizations get stuck\, helping leaders see new possibilities\, and supporting teams as they grow into their full potential. He currently serves as chairman of the board for Exponential and Saturate\, and lives with his family in Greenville\, South Carolina. \n  \n \nDoug Paul\, Managing Partner\, The Catapult Group \nDoug is the author of bestselling books Ready or Not and Built for Impact\, and is the creator of the Impact Operating System. He deeply loves working with mission agencies\, NGO’s and high impact nonprofits.

SUMMARY:Mobilization Strategy Summit
DESCRIPTION:This event is formerly the 24Plus Mobilization Directors Conference. \nJoin us to address ecosystem shifts with actionable organizational solutions. This summit features collaborative breakout labs designed to bridge the church-agency divide\, decode next-gen funding\, and navigate systems change. Equip your leadership team with strategic insights from an outside design consultant and collaborate with peers to build practical experiments you can launch immediately. \nParticipant Profile \nThis collaborative working summit is designed for Mobilization Leaders and Senior Agency Leaders ready to move from traditional recruiting models toward actionable innovation. To optimize the summit’s collaborative layout\, leaders are urged to attend alongside their key organizational decision-makers (CEOs\, COOs\, VP’s\, and Sending Pastors) to co-create practical frameworks and align on immediate strategic next steps. \nWho You’ll Meet \nNetwork with mobilization leaders and affiliated leaders in the mobilization arena from a wide variety of mission agencies and denominations.  Meet veteran and emerging leaders from these organizations who are attending with their mobilization leaders. Connect with a variety of presenters who specialize in mobilization leadership topics. \nThe Focus Areas \nThis summit provides the strategic frameworks and peer accountability needed to transition from theory to execution. Together\, we will address: \n\nEcosystem Alignment: Bridging the church-agency divide to reduce system redundancy.\nGenerational Innovation: Adapting candidate coaching and funding models for Gen Z and Gen Alpha.\nCultivate Mobilization Across Departments: Inspire cross-departmental collaboration for an organization-wide mobilization culture\n\nSuccess is not defined by “solving” these global shifts in a few days\, but by leaving with named tensions\, aligned realities\, and low-risk experiments to test within your leadership domain over the next 12 months. \nWhy You Want to Participate \n\nDiagnose Blind Spots: Leverage the insights of an outside organizational design expert to identify where your current models create unintended barriers.\nBridge the Gaps: Break down the historical divides between agencies\, churches\, and funding pipelines alongside peers who are doing the same.\nDe-risk Innovation: Collaborate on testing new hybrid frameworks before risking capital or organizational momentum.\n\nHow It Will Help You \nYour team will depart with a curated portfolio of micro-experiments—low-risk\, high-leverage steps designed to bypass internal status-quo resistance and jumpstart immediate operational innovation within your organization. \nEvent Overview \nA 3-day collaborative strategy summit hosted at the Frontiers Headquarters. Moving entirely away from passive lectures\, this event brings together integrated leadership teams—mobilization leaders alongside organizational decision-makers—to tackle the root-system structural challenges facing global missions. Guided by an outside systems and organizational design consultant\, the summit features three intensives\, facilitated breakout labs utilizing dedicated strategic meeting spaces across the campus. Participants will engage in rigorous peer-to-peer alignment\, diagnose shared organizational friction points\, and depart with low-risk micro-experiments to pilot immediately back home. \nThis Summit will feature a number of speakers as well as our Event Facilitators/Mobilization Track Leaders. \nEvent Facilitators \n \nDave Jacob is a missions mobilization practitioner\, researcher\, trainer\, and consultant.
