PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

From Elected Committee to Inspiring Dhamma Leaders/Workers Successfully!

For many elected Committee Members, being in the role is just mere fulfilling their duties and
responsibilities.
When this happens to you, it's all too easy to get caught unawares: as a key leader in your
organization, you obviously possess certain capabilities to do more for the Community. But managing
and leading your team and Community is a brand new challenge to many, which requires a
completely different set of skills, competencies and spiritual insights.
The good news is that we can all learn to be an Inspiring Dhamma Leader. The proposed program
modules based on the Dhammapada Verse 182 are designed specifically to help new and existing
Buddhist Leaders/Workers to be more inspired and effective at what they are expected to do Dhammaduta. The following are the outlines of the 4 modules :

PROGRAM MODULES
