Bishop T.D. Jakes to Highlight First Annual Networking Conference for Black America
CLEVELAND, March 18, 2002 – Grammy nominated gospel singer, author and motivator Bishop T.D. Jakes will highlight the PowerNetworking Conference in Cleveland, Ohio on June 21 at 6p.m. "PowerNetworking 2002 – Leveraging Our Global Resources," will be the first annual Professional Networking Training Conference for People of African decent.
"There is a pent-up demand in the African American community for learning and developing networking skills," said George C. Fraser, FraserNet CEO and PowerNetworking Conference founder. "This conference is not as much about why, as it is about how. How to succeed and what you must be doing to connect and succeed… and then using your successes to model, inspire and teach others, and thus uplift our community one person at a time over time. This is not an issues conference, our issues are already discussed at over 150 conferences each year. Black America knows what the issues are already," he added.
The conference will include a dream team of other top motivational speakers and African American civic leaders from around the world including: author, ABC correspondent and former host of BET Tonight Tavis Smiley; Rev. Jesse L. Jackson; motivational speaker Les Brown; Rev. Al Sharpton; professional orator and author Patricia Russell-McCloud; renowned scholar Dr. Asa Hilliard III; author and spiritual leader Dr. Myles Munroe; former U.S. Representative Rev. Dr. Floyd Flake; and George C. Fraser.
Popular gospel recording artist Donnie McClurkin will open for Jakes, at what is expected to be a sell-out crowd. T.D. Jakes is only one of two evangelists to fill Atlanta's 79,000-seat Georgia Dome according to a recent Time magazine cover story. Jakes first received worldwide recognition after his book Woman Thou Art Loosed, sold over two million copies. The book was later turned into a gospel theatrical production. He is presently building a 231-acre rehabilitation and job complex in an impoverished section of South Dallas. "The poor need a fiscal model rather than an icon of self-denial," he said.
Born June 6, 1957, Jakes has a 26,000-member megachurch in South Dallas called Potter's House. Jakes recently signed a contract with Hallmark for a line of "Loose Your Spirit" inspirational greeting cards. He preaches regularly to millions of listeners on both Black Entertainment Network and the Trinity Broadcasting Network. "I have a need to impact my generation on economical truths, relational truths as well as biblical truths," said Jakes.
