Convergence 2010: Green Leadership - Sustain, Grow, Reproduce

As momentum for Convergence has grown, women have expressed a desire to deepen the emphasis on our identity as Christian leaders.

Is Convergence for you?

  • Are you a woman leading others in the way of Jesus?
  • Are you looking for ways to bring sustainability to your leadership role?
  • Are you longing for ways to create meaningful relationships with others who understand your leadership role- both the pressures and the joys?
  • Do care you about raising up and mentoring other leaders?

If so, Join us Friday, March 5 through Sunday March 7th at MeMenamins Edgefield Lodge in Troutdale. Oregon!

Register NOW to reserve your space for Convergence 2010.  (Last year sold out and we had to turn many wonderful women away.)

Call Edgefield to reserve your own room today. 

(Note: last year's participants commented that rooms on the main level are noisier than the second and third floors.)

A block of rooms is reserved at Edgefield for Convergence women. Please be sure to mention Convergence when making your reservations. Rooms tend to fill up, so be sure to make your reservations today!

Historic Edgefield is one of the truly remarkable destination resorts of the Pacific Northwest. It is a world of relaxation that seamlessly blends Oregon's natural beauty with McMenamins' signature whimsy: historic buildings of all sizes artfully restored and rich with cozy interiors, tranquil ponds and dazzling gardens, great food and drink, plentiful entertainment and surprising recreations. Encompassing a lush 74-acre parcel of farmland at the mouth of the spectacular Columbia River Gorge, Edgefield is a 15-minute car ride to or from the center of downtown Portland.

Please note ~ some women have recommended 2nd and 3rd floor rooms as being quieter than rooms on the 1st floor.
