Good and Godly Governance
At the February 2026 Forces for Good Summit, organized by the Southern Baptist Convention, church and ministry leaders will learn how to be a force for good in every area of ministry. W&O Partner Sally Wagenmaker will lead a practice area session on Good and Godly Governance:
What top-priority legal areas are of concern to your church leadership? Churches of all sizes and types need to promote effective governance, mindful of applicable fiduciary responsibilities, how bylaws affect their leadership, key governance and operational policies, how best to address staffing issues, and potential legal pitfalls affecting such areas. This workshop helps equip leaders to effectively serve their churches with optimal accountability and stewardship, for God’s glory throughout their efforts.
