Resources & Information

Thank you to all who made our time in Kansas City so rewarding. Over forty United Methodist foundations were represented by about 70 staff-persons. We were delighted that about 20 spouses of foundation staff were able to join the gathering and participate in many aspects of the program. Our 13 corporate sponsors and exhibitors added another 18 persons to our gathering.

Our program presenters were outstanding. From the rousing keynotes of Bishop Schnase and Bishop Jones, to the keen analysis of Gil Rendle, the innovative ideas of the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, the urgency and eloquence of Lovett Weems and the inspiring example of the Church of the Resurrection, many of us left with a renewed sense of energy and purpose – and a practical "to-do" list to take home.

Below you will find pdf copies of some of the meeting handouts and links to materials that were referenced by our speakers. We have some great photos from the event. If you would like to receive the actual photo file for one or more photos, please email Adele Holt (aholt@mumf.org) with your request. It was a wonderful event, and we will look forward to seeing everyone next year in Philadelphia (September 14-16, 2010).
