Attracting an audience that represents various industries, including marketplace, non-profit, healthcare, education, government, ministry and recently, corrections, The Global Leadership Summit (GLS) has become a unique platform, bringing people together to empower better leadership within the organizations and corrections facilities they represent.

“It made me feel like I was loved again.”

The growth we’ve seen in corrections facilities is a more recent development that started in 2014 when the Global Leadership Network (GLN) built a partnership with Prison Fellowship. As kindred spirits in the belief that everyone has influence, a partnership was formed to bring the GLS to incarcerated men and women as well as corrections staff in the U.S. and by 2015, the GLS was hosted in 11 corrections facilities. In 2021, the GLN brought the GLS into 100+ facilities in the U.S.

As we lean into the expertise and support from corrections staff, wardens, chaplains, churches, and organizations involved in prison ministry as well as several passionate volunteers and donors, we hope to expand the reach of the GLS Prison Program into the future!
