Houses of worship and faith based organizations have an unique role in our society. With their relationships among a diverse range of individuals and families, the faith community can have a significant influence before and after disasters and emergencies.
Lewis Saylor brings a positive message to clergy, lay leaders, and staff on how be ready for an unplanned incident. He is on the executive committee of the Northern Virginia Voluntary Organizations Active In Disasters, as well as the Faith Communities In Action Interfaith Emergency Planning Steering Committee (Fairfax County, VA).
Building on his ministry experience as the former national executive director of a volunteer based chaplaincy program, being the Director of Staff & Planning for a large church, and achieving Fellow status through the National Association of Church Business Administration, Lewis provides a practical approach to being ready for the unexpected.
His focus with preparedness includes developing material for use in religious settings, consulting, writing, and speaking before local, regional, and national audiences.
