PBA Lead offers an opportunity to develop a leadership strategy for your life that
identifies your strengths, passions and personality for future leadership success.
The need for effective leadership in our country and the world has perhaps never been
greater. This leadership crisis requires you, our next generation of leaders, to meet
the challenge of being and leading differently. Following the biblical example of

unique program for sustained transformational leadership development.
