The leadership of Links Players International comes in several layers. As an organization, we are governed by a national board, made up of decision-makers who possess the qualities of biblical elders, as well as the ministry and business savvy needed to guide our staff leaders according to the Vision and Mission of the organization.
Our staff is comprised of regional leaders supported by the national office, which provides development of program resources and administrative assistance, along with the area staff who serve smaller locales.
Finally, Links Fellowships leaders challenge individual Links Players in their Fellowships to be Christ-led leaders in their businesses, clubs, homes, and communities.
