ISKCON leaders and temple presidents will gather in Dallas, Texas this weekend for the annual North American leaders meetings.

The main discussions will take place on Saturday January 16th and Sunday the 17th after a pre-meeting on Thursday.

National Book Distribution Minister Vaisesika Dasa, known as an inspirational and “super-powered” speaker, will give the keynote address at the event. He is expected to speak about some of the innovative programs devotees have developed for congregational outreach at his homebase of ISKCON Silicon Valley in San Jose, California.

Other reports at the meetings will cover leadership training, strategic planning initiatives, and the development of an ISKCON pastoral abuse policy.
