National Board News

Gallatin County Love INC is an independent affiliate of the national movement of Love In the Name of Christ.  For several years, our Executive Director, Nancy VanDyken, has worn two hats: she has served as the head of our local affiliate and has also served, as needed, as a National Trainer with the Love INC national office/movement.

With the closing of the national office, additional tasks and responsibilities have been given to Nancy, along with the two other national trainers: to help train, advise and guide the new and existing Love INC affiliates around the country.

In late February, all three National Trainers and the Chair of the National Board of Directors met at our Love INC offices in Bozeman to plan: (a) the future direction of Love INC, (b) how to provide needed training and support resources to affiliates, and (c) how to structure and deliver training events for developing affiliates in the immediate future. 

Additionally, at its March 9, 2011, meeting, Nancy was appointed to the National Love INC Board of Directors, along with the other two trainers.  

Gallatin County Love INC is working hard to focus on our mission, live out Love INC's core values, and follow best practices.  The wonderful churches, committed local Board of Directors and wonderful Christians in our area who live out the love of Christ make it possible for Gallatin County to model what being Love INC is all about to many other communities throughout the country. 

Please pray for Nancy as she seeks to continue fully in her role as Executive Director while picking up the extra tasks and responsibilities on the national level.
