Green Lake Conference Center Announces Search for President/CEO

VALLEY FORGE, PA (ABNS 6/3/11)?The Board of
Directors of Green Lake Conference Center (ABA)
is seeking a unique individual to serve as its
new president and chief executive officer.  Ken
Giacoletto will be stepping down in December
after eighteen successful years. Tom Jones, chair
of the board, said, ?We are excited about the
amazing range of opportunities that we face, and
we look forward to an important period of
discernment as we choose our new leader.?

About the Position

?We are looking for an executive who can balance
the unique opportunities and challenges of a
broad conference schedule and who will also be
comfortable leading a significant hotel and food
service operation,? said Jones. ?The board is
particularly looking for candidates who are
spiritually mature and who have strong visionary
skills.  Special emphasis will be placed on this
individual having well-developed integrative
strengths and the ability to build a positive, mutually-supportive culture. ?

About Green Lake

Jones continued, ?Green Lake Conference Center is
a premier Christian conference and
leadership-training facility located in south
central Wisconsin. Our mission is to provide a
special Christian environment of service,
equipping, renewal and networking that helps to
produce more and stronger disciples and
churches.  Founded by the American Baptists in
1943, the Conference Center now reaches out to
partner with American Baptists and a wide range
of other Christian organizations to build God?s kingdom."

?We offer transformational conferences for
pastors, potential church planters, lay leaders,
youth and families. We host many different
Christian groups and organizations from other
denominations who are responsible for their own
conference design and content," said Jones. "We
also enjoy serving a wide variety of groups who
do not have a religious purpose, including
university retreats, school environmental
education groups, NGO?s coming for training
meetings, and many others. We are a favorite
location for family reunions and vacationers.?

Over 30,000 guests annually attend over 400

individual conferences and events. Green Lake?s
extraordinary facilities include 30,000 square
feet of meeting space, nearly 1,000 acres of
woodlands, meadows and lakeside paths, and 12
miles of quaint country roads. The grounds
include one of the largest native prairies in
Wisconsin. The Center is operated with 300 paid
and volunteer staff members and an $8 million budget.
