Where to Hold Summits
Next year, I’m planning on leading about 6 or 7 summits around the country. I’ve done my last two just outside of Palm Beach, Florida and really love the location. Bill Easum and Tom Bandy generally lead their summits in Port Aransas, Texas. I’ve decided, though, I want to start leading some seminars around the country. Since I live in Columbia, Missouri, which is equadistant between Kansas City and St. Louis, I was thinking one of those cities would be nice once in awhile for those who live in the Mid-West. I’d love to go back to Seattle (my home stomping ground). And I’ve never done much in the Northeast, so I’d love to get out there.
Here are the considerations:
- Needs to be within 30 minutes of a major airport.
- Needs to be a “destination” site - somewhere church leaders would like to go.
- Lodging has to be both comfortable and the cost has to be reasonable.
- Lodging must be walking distance to restaurants.
- Must be able to cancel reservations within 2 weeks of event without having to pay anything (which rules out most retreat centers).
Would love to hear specific recommendations, but if you don’t have time to write a comment, here’s a survey that will help me out.
Thanks! Bill T-B
