Urbandale, IOWA. – The FAMiLY LEADER announces The 3rd Annual Family Leadership Summit on Saturday, August 9, scheduled to take place at Stephens Auditorium, on the Iowa State University campus in Ames, Iowa.  

The FAMiLY LEADER is pleased to announce that our national partner in hosting the Summit is the Family Research Council Action based in Washington D.C. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council Action said, “It’s a genuine privilege to partner with The FAMiLY LEADER in Iowa to advance pro-family, pro-conservative, and pro-freedom conservative values through their Family Leadership Summit.  We value Iowa’s role in presidential politics and it’s an honor to join with Iowans for this most important Summit.”  

The purpose of The FAMiLY LEADERSHIP SUMMIT is to educate and mobilize the conservative base regarding worldview application and issues that impact the family.  The Summit will provide Iowans the opportunity to hear top conservative national leaders, gathered in one place, cast their leadership vision.  

Bob Vander Plaats, president & CEO of The FAMiLY LEADER, said, “One of the hopeful outcomes of the Summit is to bring conservatives together early and consistently in the process leading up to the 2016 elections.  We believe that by laying this foundation through an intentional leadership summit, the likelihood for conservatives to coalesce in a spirit of unity for impact and influence in 2014, 2016, and beyond will be greatly enhanced.”
