How to Choose a First Round Draft Pick for Your Organization

Join us for a powerful and engaging session on leadership and talent selection with Rev. Byron C. Stevenson, Senior Pastor and Founder of The Fort Bend Church in Sugar Land, Texas. Just like championship teams scout top talent to fill critical positions, organizations must also identify and develop the right people to meet their specific needs. This session, titled “How to Choose a First Round Draft Pick for Your Organization,” will explore how to recognize, recruit, and manage individuals whose gifts and skills align with your organization’s unique culture and goals—because building a winning team starts with choosing the right players.

We are honored to welcome Rev. Byron Stevenson as our guest speaker. Under his visionary leadership, The Fort Bend Church opened its doors in 2004 and has since grown into a vibrant, multi-ministry congregation built on five foundational pillars: trust, faith, kindness, compassion, and liberal giving. Today, the church offers over 45 ministries and is supported by a dynamic staff of more than 40 individuals, all committed to “serving the total needs of God’s people.”

Pastor Stevenson is a respected community leader and has served on numerous boards, including the Executive Board of the Baptist General Convention of Texas and the Houston Area Urban League, where he chaired the Audit Committee. He is a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and a life member of the Southern University Alumni Association. His ministry has taken him across the globe—from Cairo and Jerusalem to Rome and Bethlehem.

Whether you’re building a team for a nonprofit, business, church, or community initiative, Rev. Stevenson will offer practical insights and inspiring guidance on selecting and developing the right people for the work ahead.

Don’t miss this opportunity to elevate your leadership approach and strengthen your organization from the inside out. Save the date and join us for this energizing and thought-provoking session.
