Simmons is the first woman to hold a general vice president position, which is the highest job ever held by a woman in the denomination. As such, she knows leadership is not easy. “You’re always going to face challenges. … No matter what happens … it still always comes back to just remembering this is God’s work,” she said in a 2017 Columbia Union Visitor article. “He has it, and He has me, and I need to keep my mind on Him in order to do what He would have me do, and to have peace while I’m doing it.” Simmons will share her expertise on navigating leadership as well as give practical advice on how to chair boards at our next Virtual Mentor Series event, 3 p.m. May 19. |
