Glean Network is a growing community of visionary leaders who are reimagining the role of faith in a world that yearns for justice, meaning, and belonging.
At Glean Network, we're always seeking learning in new and unexpected places, valuing the wisdom that comes from cross-sector conversations. This year, we're curating a dynamic series of webinars, hosted by experts from business, design, healthcare, and beyond, who have powerful teachings to share with the leaders shaping the future of faith.
It's clear that the tools and practices that grew our faith institutions in the past weren't designed to meet the unprecedented challenges and opportunities ahead. Faith leaders can learn 7 new tools and practices for fostering innovation in their institutions through our newest program, designed in partnership with our friends and teachers at Ashoka.

Upcoming Webinar: Define Your Purpose as a Faith Leader
Aligning with Glean Network's mission to foster and grow a network of leaders across sectors who are building the future of faith, we're excited to open registration for the first webinar in this years' series. Dr. Nicholas Pearce, an award-winning professor of management at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, founder and CEO of The Vocati Group, and megachurch pastor of Chicago's historic Apostolic Church of God will share his groundbreaking work on the role of purpose in growing impact in both business and faith.
The webinar takes place on September 10 from 12:30 - 2:00pm EST. Participants can join the conversation remotely over Zoom, or join in-person at CLAL: The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership at 440 Park Ave South, New York, 10016. Lunch will be provided. The first 30 participants to register will receive a free copy of Dr. Pearce's book The Purpose Path: A Guide to Pursuing Your Authentic Life’s Work.
