Joint Plenary Session: Whole and Intentional Leader Development
As leaders, the job of developing other leaders is one of our most important charges, but so few of us were given the tools to effectively scale our efforts. We may have been trained in a specific profession, but have been forced to rely on our experience alone when it comes to investing in and inspiring faithful leaders all around us. Dr. Rob McKenna is the Founder of WiLD Leaders, Chair of Industrial-Organizational Psychology at Seattle Pacific University, and author of numerous publications including his most recent book Composed: The Heart and Science of Leading Under Pressure. A unique combination of scholar and leader, Dr. McKenna will offer us practical and research-based insight for developing whole leaders on our campuses and in our communities.
Rob McKenna, Chair and Associate Professor of Industrial-Organizational Psychology, Seattle Pacific University

Building a Culture of Whole & Intentional Leader Development
It is one thing to be inspired to intentionally develop the leaders around us, and another to put processes and systems in place to actually get it done. In this session, Dr. Rob McKenna and Dr. Daniel Hallak will present a simple and scaleable process for developing whole leaders – leaders who bring a unique combination of effectiveness, inspiration, direction, adaptability, effectiveness, and faith. If developing leader-disciples for the sake of Jesus Christ is our “why”, this session answer the question of “how”.
Daniel Hallak, Chief Commercial Officer, WiLD Leaders and Rob McKenna, Chair and Associate Professor of Industrial-Organizational Psychology, Seattle Pacific University

Lunch

Title IX Proposed Regulations: What You Need to Know
The release of the proposed regulations in November has understandably left many institutions anxious about compliance in the ever-changing Title IX legal landscape. The proposed regulations touch on many different aspects of an institution’s policies and procedures, providing increased flexibility in some areas while also imposing significant new requirements for an institution’s student and employee complaint resolution process, including mandated live hearings with cross-examination conducted by advisors. Learning objectives of this presentation include gaining an understanding of the content of the proposed Title IX regulations and the next steps in the rulemaking process. The presenter will also provide practical advice on whether and to what extent institutions should update their policies and procedures in light of the changes to the legal landscape.
Kathryn Nash, Attorney, Gray Plant Moody

Travel & Accommodations
Biola’s campus rests on the border of Orange and Los Angeles counties, putting students just minutes from all that Southern California has to offer — including entertainment, cultural riches and a wealth of internship and career opportunities. Surfing and sunbathing are a mere 25 miles away. Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm are even closer. Half an hour up the freeway in Los Angeles, students can catch TV tapings, peruse the Getty Center’s vast art collection or soak up live music at historic theaters and concert halls. Baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer fans can find major-league entertainment throughout the year.
If you’ve selected a registration option that does include housing, you will be housed in a two bedroom, suite-style dorm. Each suite includes a private bathroom, and each room includes a sink and vanity. Each registrant will receive their own bedroom, but will share a bathroom with a suite mate. Linen packages are included (you will not need to bring your own sheets, towels, or pillows). Toiletries are not included.
If you have selected a registration option that does not include on-campus housing and are looking for nearby hotels, please refer to the links below:
