PRESENTERS
Naomi García
Her life’s one ‘yes’-at-a-time-journey brought Naomi from the south Rio Grande Valley to Michigan. The fun and drama of dancing in the present is mostly informed by where she’s been and lit up by God-sized aspirations. Being and doing this in the presence of others doing the same keeps her coming back for more.
Zena Patillo
Zena is a long-time facilitator, project manager, organizational development consultant and most recently, coach at Training Paradigm and the Michigan Conference. She has over 24 years of experience as an independent contractor. Zena uses that experience to inspire individuals and entities to reaching their goals and objectives.
Laura Witkowski
Called to the work of the laity, Laura is passionate about ministry leaders using their God-given gifts in ways that can transform the world around them.
