The AACS LEAD conference is geared to state leadership. We encourage our state officers and executive directors to identify some leaders within their state who would benefit from this conference and invite them to register and participate.
Make plans now to attend the 2027 AACS LEAD Conference, February 1–3. Monday meetings (February 1) include the Accreditation Commission (morning) and Board of Directors (afternoon). For those not involved in the Monday board meetings, the conference begins at 8:00 on Tuesday morning (February 2) and concludes at noon on Wednesday (February 3).
Speaker: Gary Walton
Gary Walton, lead pastor of Harvest Baptist Church (Guam), loves the local church, her shepherds, leaders, and mission.
