A SIGNATURE 2-DAY PROGRAM FOR U.S.
AND CANADIAN SCHOOLS OF THEOLOGY
Feliz Navidad!
Christmas really is "the most wonderful time of the year." And I can't think of a better way to start the Season off than by attending The Christmas Program. I do hope you'll accept my personal invitation to attend this not-to-be-missed event of the year.
Last year's Christmas program in Indianapolis was a huge success. Over 50 people from 34 different seminaries and 19 individual denominations attended. And this year's event in Philadelphia promises to be even bigger and better. In fact, I guarantee it!
At the request of last year's theological school participants, several exciting new topics have been added to the 2007 Christmas program. For one, we've added a brand new session titled: "Recruiting Minority Students: What Really Matters." I know you'll benefit greatly from this session because we'll focus only on what works - no conjecture, no gossip, and no hearsay. Only what really matters!
Also new for 2007 is an extremely informative and highly-charged module on promotions and advertising: "75 Rapid-Fire Ideas in 75 Minutes." Whether it's traditional, or online, every theological school in the U.S. and Canada spends thousands and thousands of dollars, each year, on promotions and advertising. And we're going to show you how to get it right! You'll not only learn the "Secrets of the Pros," but also you'll find out how to make your recruiting dollars s-t-r-e-t-c-h a whole lot farther.
Additionally, we've significantly beefed up the technology portion of the program this year. Today's prospective seminary students are WIRED! And you need to get ahead and stay ahead of the fast-changing world of online recruiting. In fact, nobody knows this better than you. And that's why you'll learn dozens of innovative, free to low-cost recruiting ideas you can try online. In fact, some ideas are so simple and easy, you'll be amazed.
In addition, we're particularly excited about another new component of this year's Christmas program appropriately labeled: "5 Minutes of Fame." While we recognize that not everyone wants to be a speaker, we welcome seminary attendees to come up to center stage and share their success stories. Without a doubt, 5 Minutes of Fame promises to be inspiring, educational, and a whole lot of fun.
Plan now to attend the recruiting event of the year. This signature two-day event offers unsurpassed content and addresses the most important topics in the ever-evolving realities of theological school recruiting. I look forward to seeing you at The Christmas Program.
Thomas J. Jackson,
CEO and President
