The event gets under way at 9 a.m. and takes place on the Palm Beach Atlantic University campus in West Palm Beach. Cost of registration is $15 and includes lunch. Online registration is open at learn-well.pba.edu/synergoi-2015. The event is sponsored by the university’s master of divinity program.
McNeal has contributed to numerous denominational publications and church leadership journals, including Leadership and Net Results. His books include Revolution in Leadership (Abingdon Press, 1998), A Work of Heart: Understanding How God Shapes Spiritual Leaders (Jossey-Bass, 2000), The Present Future (Jossey-Bass, 2003), Practicing Greatness (Jossey-Bass, 2006) and Get A Life!

His latest book, Get off Your Donkey! Help Somebody and Help Yourself, calls readers to dismount, get messy and live a life that makes a real difference.
