The new website provides PLS customers with the option to create an online profile which can be used to expedite applications for loans, prepaid debit cards, direct deposit accounts and other PLS products and services.

The built-in personalization engine detects the visitor's current location and then presents only pages featuring products and services available in their state.

"Our new site will make it easier than ever for people to access the financial products and services they need," concluded Wolfberg. "It's our online expression of the PLS mission—that we believe our customers deserve better."

SportLiveOnTV.com: A Website about a Variety of Sports and Outdoor Activities

SportsLiveOnTV.com, a site that discusses a wide variety of sports and other outdoor activities, has published new articles about the the 2012 Summer Olympics, the NBA rivalry between the Lakers and the Celtics, and the slam-dunking prowess of Michael Jordan.

(PRWEB) May 01, 2011

Logan, New Mexico: May 1, 2011—SportsLiveOnTV.com, a website that provides discussion, analysis, and video for a variety of popular sports and hobbies, recently released several new articles. These posts include "2012 Summer Olympics," "Lakers-Celtics Rivalry," and "Michael Jordan Dunks."

"2012 Summer Olympics," written for SportsLiveOnTV.com, provides event updates and miscellaneous trivia about the upcoming Olympic Games in London, England. This post offers some insight into Olympic basketball, which has been a complex issue since the involvement of professional players on the American "Dream Team" in the 1992 Games. It also points out a number of sports that typically receive less media attention, such as fencing and taekwondo.

"Lakers-Celtics Rivalry," published by SportsLiveOnTV.com, outlines the history of one of the fiercest rivalries in NBA history. Since the establishment of the National Basketball Association in the late 1940s, these teams have been in competition for basketball supremacy. This post traces the development of this relationship through the decades, and discusses how the ongoing competition intensified with the introduction of Larry Bird to the Celtics and Magic Johnson to the Lakers.

"Michael Jordan Dunks" is an examination of the iconic status of Michael Jordan, in terms of his particular affinity for dunking. The post begins with a brief illumination of the dunk shot and its popularity among fans and players. SportsLiveOnTV.com discusses the fact that even though Jordan only competed in a small number of official "slam dunk" competitions, he is still regarded as one of the best dunkers to ever play in the NBA.

SportsLiveOnTV.com was launched in December of 2010, with the goal of providing an online resource for information, advice and discussion on a huge variety of sports and other outdoor activities.

AnimaloftheWorld.com, a Blog about Animals, the Environment and Wildlife Preservation, Publishes New Pages

AnimaloftheWorld.com, a blog about animals, the environment and wildlife preservation, has published new posts about endangered animals in the rainforest, small animal rescue, and the most popular pets.

(PRWEB) May 01, 2011

Williamsport, PA (PRWEB) May 1, 2011 — AnimaloftheWorld.com, a blog about animals, the environment and wildlife preservation, has released several new blog posts, including "Endangered Animals in the Rainforest," "Small Animal Rescue," and "The Most Popular Pets."

The post "Endangered Animals in the Rainforest" from AnimaloftheWorld.com, discusses the role that rainforests play in regards to the earth's ecosystem. These mostly tropical rainforests are home to a number of animal and plant species that environmentalists claim are key in helping to sustain the earth and all of its inhabitants. The author asserts that the onslaught of development on these lands could have significant and far-reaching effects.

“When considering adoption of a puppy or kitten, the adoptee is often acting on a brain in the midst of pleasure center overdrive; due to the overwhelming charm of the newborn animal,” begins the page “Small Animal Rescue” by AnimaloftheWorld.com. In the animal adoption world, this is seen as both good and bad. The author provides potential pet owners with some issues to take into consideration when making an animal a part of the family.

The AnimaloftheWorld.com page, "The Most Popular Pets," lays out in great detail, the rankings of our most beloved companions. The article, which based its findings on information found in The U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook, reported that canines split top honors with their feline counterparts. Fish and reptiles made the lists as did a few little creatures that the author was surprised to find.

LIVING LIFE FROM THE INSIDE OUT: WHO YOU ARE MATTERS develops a paradigm that reverses the commonly held idea of defining oneself by what one does for a living, titles, and possessions. For many people, no matter how much they have, it is never enough. And when they lose their jobs, wealth, titles, etc., they often feel even more empty. This is living life from the outside in. This book turns the paradigm upside down suggesting that true happiness can be found by living life from the inside out.

The book is based on both empirical research and 45 years of Chrysalis-hand experience working with individuals, couples, and groups in both Dr. Dreyfus' psychological and life coaching practice. It includes case studies, vignettes, and personal experiences with real people with whom the reader can identify. The book is written for people of all ages, men and women, straight or gay. There is something in it for everyone. Anyone who has experienced a personal tragedy, loss of a job, divorce; anyone seeking greater fulfillment and happiness will profit from this read.

The profits from his other four books, http://www.dreyfusbooks.net [SOMEONE RIGHT FOR YOU: 21ST CENTURY STRATEGIES FOR FINDING YOUR PERFECT SOMEONE, KEEPING YOUR SANITY (IN AN INSANE WORLD), ADOLESCENCE: THEORY AND EXPERIENCE, YOUTH: SEARCH FOR MEANING, will also be donated to Chrysalis: Changing Lives Through Jobs and Make A Wish Foundation. Mark Loranger, CEO of Chrysalis, says "As a volunteer at Chrysalis for the past five years, Dr. Dreyfus has clearly demonstrated his commitment to helping our clients find and retain employment. We are incredibly touched that he is donating the profits from his book sales to our organization."

SOMEONE RIGHT FOR YOU presents a unique strategy for developing a plan for finding a mate, whether a roommate, playmate, or life mate. It debunks myths about finding a soul mate while maintaining the romance as it guides the reader through a series of exercises for increasing the probability of finding an appropriate mate. Rather than throwing romance up to chance, it empowers the reader to take charge of his or her romantic life.

KEEPING YOUR SANITY is a series of psychologically based essays that discusses some of the common issues with which people struggle in coping with the problems inherent in living in a complex, fast paced world. The essays offer practical, day to day counsel on developing a more fulfilling, stress free life.

YOUTH: SEARCH FOR MEANING explores the world of college students as they struggle with an ever-changing world. Traditional models are not working for them. Meaning can no longer be found through their careers. This book offers a different paradigm for youth, their parents, and educators.

ADOLESCENCE: THEORY AND EXPERIENCE was written while the author was the Associate Director of the Student Counseling Center at UCLA. It was a unique collaboration with the students who co-authored the book as they supplemented the theories on adolescence with their actual experience being adolescents.

Dr. Dreyfus is a licensed psychologist, (offering psychotherapy for treatment of addictions, anxiety, depression, confusion, aging, and problems in living fully) licensed marriage and family therapist (focusing on relationship counseling), certified sex therapist (treating sexual dysfunction such as impotence, rapid ejaculation, low sexual desire and erectile disorders), and life coach (working with people seeking to advance their lives professionally, occupational, and personally) who practices in Santa Monica, California. He is the author of the internationally popular blog Psychologically Speaking. Considered an expert in his field, Dr. Dreyfus is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and holds Diplomate status in the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists, the American Board of Sexology, and the Academy of Clinical Sexologists. He is a recipient of the Los Angeles County Psychological Association's Distinguished Psychologist Award and is listed in Who's Who in America. He has published several books and many professional articles; he is has appeared on television, radio, and has often been quoted in national magazines. Dr. Dreyfus has received several awards for his volunteer efforts in working with under-privileged populations including the prestigious Presidential Volunteer Service Award and the Los Angeles Mayoral Award for community service.

BOYZ met in New York in early 2005 while listening to the music that was being created by F.O.E. Productions. Shise and Ron G were influenced by the movement and instantly chose the path of their future. Shise and Ron G became the first official group under F.O.E. Productions, which later became F.O.E. Entertainment. Feeling the need for a third artist to fill in the missing piece of the puzzle, T-dot (Ron G’s former high school classmate) came into the picture. Once Ron G discovered that T-dot was pursing his music career he introduced him to Shise and Kiza (one of the founders of F.O.E. Entertainment). They listened to T-dot’s three-song demo and the rest was history.

Ridgewood Country Club to Host Aqua Greens Island Shooutout

Posted: 01 May 2011 03:08 AM PDT

Ridgewood Country Club to Host Aqua Greens Island Shooutout

Top New Hampshire golf facility to host shootout on new island green.

(PRWEB) May 01, 2011

Ridgewood Country Club has New Hampshire's only aqua range and is preparing to launch an island green reminiscent of the famous 17th hole at Sawgrass. Ridgewood has teamed up with the New Hampshire based company, Aqua Greens, to produce the state's first island green shootout. The exciting event is scheduled to coincide with the PGA Tour's Players' Championship at Sawgrass and the eventual shootout champion will be awarded a brand new set of Callaway RAZR irons.

The idea for the island green was first introduced during the blustery winter months while Ridgewood was busy renovating the clubhouse and beginning to cultivate an enhanced service-based, country club experience. "Every golf course should be actively seeking to provide their customers with an exceptional experience," said Keegan Rice, Head Golf Professional at Ridgewood Country Club. "We feel that bringing one of golf’s most famous greens to Ridgewood can only complement the great golf we have to offer."

The island green, currently scheduled to drop anchor April 30, will be over 700 square feet, weigh approximately 4 tons and took 2 months to construct. While much smaller than the famous 17th at Sawgrass, the green will be set within a short irons distance for most golfers and greatly enhance golfers' practice experience. "I'll say it like this: an aqua range without a floating island is similar to a basketball court without hoops," said Matt Gault, owner of Aqua Greens. Aqua Greens has created island greens for top golf facilities around the country, including a 2,500 square foot island nicknamed, "The Hurricaine," for Celebration Golf Club in Florida. "When a golfer practices hitting golf balls at an island green that has been designed and built by Aqua Greens, the golfer can expect their ball to react as though it were hit to a real land green," said Mr. Gault. "The synthetic turf that Aqua Greens uses on our island greens simulates the ball play of a real green."

The uniqueness of the Aqua Greens Island Shootout is likely to attract many golfers from around New Hampshire. Shootout participants will attempt to make the cut Friday or Saturday, May 13 or 14, and will qualify by getting 1 ball in 5 attempts on the island green. Participants may enter an unlimited amount of times during qualifying. All successful qualifiers will move on to Sunday's shootout where the eventual champion will be crowned with the latest in golf technology. Prizes will be awarded to the top 5 finishers.

"If you can’t make it down to Florida to watch the pro’s, just drive down the street to Ridgewood," said Mr. Rice excitedly. He then added the penalty for missing Ridgewood's island green wouldn't be quite as severe as missing the 17th green during the Players' Championship. "At least when we miss the island green the balls float back to shore."

Ridgewood will offer golf and food specials throughout the shootout weekend. For more information on the Aqua Greens Island Shootout, please visit Ridgewood Country Club's website: http://www.ridgewoodcc.net or call (603) 476-5930.

East Bay Remodeling Contractor Seeing Surge in Bay Area Remodeling Projects

East Bay Remodeling Contractor Seeing Surge in Bay Area Remodeling Projects

HDR Remodeling says three groups of people are leading a surge in remodeling activity.

Berkeley, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) May 01, 2011

HDR Remodeling, an East Bay home remodeling contractor for over 20 years, is seeing a surge in Bay Area remodeling projects. As they meet with homeowners, they are finding that people who are remodeling now generally fall into one of three categories: those who want to avoid higher mortgage debt, Baby Boomers approaching retirement age, and younger people who are purchasing foreclosures.

"An interesting data point that was quoted in the New York Times about a month ago is that remodeling is predicted to be one of the stand-out growth industries in the coming year generating anywhere from 9 to 20% comp year increases, depending on the region," said Jim Tibbs, SVP and creative director of HDR Remodeling. "We are definitely seeing that trend come to fruition in our own business."

According to HDR Remodeling, many people in the East Bay who are remodeling now are doing so to avoid the risk of incurring higher mortgage debt from buying a larger home. Instead of moving, many are looking for ways to improve the home they have by updating the kitchen or bathroom, or converting underutilized space into highly functional living space. People are transforming garages, basements and attics into multifunction rooms such as a home office or media room. They are also expanding their homes by taking advantage of outdoor spaces.

"Many homeowners are increasing their living space by adding a deck that can perform as an outdoor family room, entertaining space or safe play area for the kids," said Tibbs, "This is one of the least expensive waysto expand your home and can provide many months of enjoyment because of the temperate climate in the East Bay."

Baby Boomers are also remodeling. Having seen the youngest of their children through college as they approach or reach retirement age, they are finally making home improvements that they have been putting off. HDR Remodeling is working with a number of Baby Boomers on kitchen and bathroom remodels that the homeowners can enjoy now and will add value to the home if they decide to downsize to a smaller place in the future. "We are also working with a number of Baby Boomer couples who have decided to stay in their current homes for as a long as possible and are making home improvements that will make it easier and safer to so throughout their retirement years," added Tibbs.

Finally, younger people who are taking advantage of the foreclosure market to buy real estate for the first time.. After years of being priced out of the market, young people with good credit and stable jobs can afford their first home. As many foreclosed homes have fallen into disrepair due to the financial difficulties of the previous owner, they often need work—and when an area of the home requires major repairs, it is a great time to make improvements to meet the needs of the new homeowner.

Austin Area Church Accepting Supplies for Alabama Tornado Victims

Celebration Church is mobilizing Central Texans to get involved with aid to devastated families in the aftermath of the storm.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) May 01, 2011

National attention has turned to Alabama in the aftermath of the nightmare of tornadoes that left hundreds dead and thousands with damage to their homes and properties. In the Austin area, Celebration Church is mobilizing relief teams and serving as the main drop off location for supplies, allowing Central Texans and Austinites to make a substantial difference in the lives of families that were turned upside down in the recent storm.

"There is a place for everyone to get involved in helping others move beyond this devastation. Celebration Church is fortunate to have tremendous connections with organizations that have longstanding relationships in the Tuscaloosa and surrounding area communities. With support from the Central Texas community, together we can make a difference," said Joe Champion, Celebration Church Senior Pastor.

Celebration Church is partnering with the Austin Disaster Relief Network (ADRN) and Church of the Highlands, in Birmingham, Alabama to drive this effort. On location, Celebration Church Relief Teams will work with local organizations in Alabama to reach out to those with extreme need by aiding with cleanup, delivering supplies and serving displaced families in shelters.

"The Austin Disaster Relief Network is asking Greater Austin churches to support our efforts in conjunction with Celebration Church to extend a helping hand and disaster relief support to the people of Alabama. Celebration Church has been a true leader within our community, serving people in need in times of crisis, most recently working with ADRN during the devastating floods that hit Williamson County in 2010," said Daniel Geraci, Executive Director, Austin Disaster Relief Network.

In Alabama, Church of the Highlands began immediately to mobilize relief efforts, where "destruction is everywhere":

"We are serving emergency personnel and anyone from the community who remains. For several miles destruction is everywhere. Someone actually told us, 'Thanks for being here. You are the only ones who came to help.' I am thankful for Celebration Church and the many other organizations who will be here in the coming days and we look forward to joining with them in this great effort to make an impact in this devastated area," said Steve Blair, Associate Pastor, Church of the Highlands.

Currently there are two ways to get involved:

1. Donate relief supplies. Items needed include: blankets, diapers, baby wipes, baby food / formula, socks, bottled water, individual bottles of juice and packaged food for distribution. Relief teams will transport supplies this week directly to the people who need them most.

2. Give financially to the Alabama Relief Fund at http://www.CelebrationChurchTx.com.

Tuttle Commits to Nevada – Reno

Tuttle Commits to Nevada – Reno

Cody Tuttle, one of the nation's most sought after high school football recruits, today verbally committed to attend the University of Nevada-Reno in 2012.

Newbury Park, CA (PRWEB) May 01, 2011

Tuttle, a 6' 3" 220 lbs. receiver from Westlake High School in Westlake Village (CA) had received multiple Division I offers from across the country. He selected the Wolfpack following a recruiting visit over spring break.

"Academically and athletically it just felt right," Tuttle said. "I love the college, the coaches and the professional manner in which the program is run. I can't ask for more in a university. I am really looking forward to my senior year, but I can't wait to attend UNR."

With exceptional hands, dominating power and deceptive speed Tuttle had been the subject of an intense national recruiting battle. Five Pac-12 schools had expressed strong interest and his aptitude in the classroom had attracted the attention of numerous Ivy League colleges.

Tuttle had a breakout season in 2010 as the Warriors captured their second consecutive league championship. Considered the team's best all-around athlete Tuttle's numbers were noteworthy, 34 receptions for 484 yards and 3 TDs. However, they were not nearly as impressive as his uncanny ability to make clutch plays, often in spectacular fashion, when his team needed them most. Against powerhouse St. Bonaventure he had a career high 9 catches for 136 yards and 1 TD. And, in the playoffs against the same school, he made what many consider to be the "Catch of the Year," a phenomenal acrobatic grab to preserve the victory.

"I believe he made an excellent choice," Westlake Head Coach Jim Benkert said. "He is unquestionably ready for the next level and has the potential to be an exceptional student-athlete in college. Nevada-Reno is definitely fortunate to have him."

While undoubtedly pleased with Tuttle's verbal commitment, UNR Head Coach Chris Ault was unable to comment because of NCAA rules prohibiting schools from speaking about recruits until after they sign their National Letter of Intent on February 1, 2012.

Chicago Real Estate Office RE/MAX Edge Merges RE/MAX NorthCoast, Chicago, Expanding Market Presence

Chicago Real Estate Office RE/MAX Edge Merges RE/MAX NorthCoast, Chicago, Expanding Market Presence

RE/MAX Edge in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood continues to grow and expand, especially in light of its recent merger with RE/MAX NorthCoast, an established brokerage in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood. The merger will strengthen the brokerage's position in the Chicago real estate market.

(PRWEB) May 01, 2011

RE/MAX Edge in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood continues to grow and expand, especially in light of its recent merger with RE/MAX NorthCoast, an established brokerage in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood. The merger will strengthen the brokerage's position in the Chicago real estate market.

RE/MAX Edge, owned and managed by broker/owner Mark Zipperer will remain at 3843 N. Broadway Ave. Zipperer, with more than eight years experience in the housing industry, will continue to run the office he has owned since 2005.

Not only will the merger create a stronger real estate brokerage, one that will benefit from an influx of talented real estate professionals. But, the consolidation will also result in lower overhead costs and increased profitability and productivity for the newly expanded office.

The move became official in late March when the agents of RE/MAX NorthCoast moved into the RE/MAX Edge office. Connie Abels, the former broker/owner of RE/MAX NorthCoast, also made the move, and is working at RE/MAX Edge as a broker-associate. She will also serve as a mentor to her fellow agents in the office. Abels comes with extensive experience having owned and managed a real estate office since 1987.

“After nearly 25 years of owning and managing a real estate office, I am looking forward to being able to do the part of real estate that I enjoy most, listing, marketing and selling real estate, plus having some free time to pursue other passions,” Abels said.

The merger brings 30 new listings and six new Realtors® to RE/MAX Edge, strengthening the already successful brokerage. With this infusion of new agents, the office is expected to notch $50 million in sales volume in 2011.

“I’m very excited to work with Connie,” Zipperer said. “She and her team have a phenomenal reputation for serving clients on the North Side of the city.”

Both Zipperer and Abels say that the merger will make RE/MAX Edge an even stronger force in the Chicago real estate market. The office's agents will serve an area stretching from downtown Chicago through suburban Evanston.

“This merger will allow RE/MAX Edge to continue to expand its operations and market share in the city of Chicago,” Zipperer said. “Most importantly, it will allow us to prepare for the recovery of the housing market over the next few years.”

New Fast and Furious 5 Movie “Fast Five” Slammed by Street Racing Documentary Filmmakers

New Fast and Furious 5 Movie "Fast Five" Slammed by Street Racing Documentary Filmmakers

After nearly a decade of research on the underground subculture of street racing, filmmakers Dominic Pena and Matt Goff recently released the only feature length documentary video on Street Racing – "1320 A West Coast Story." The filmmakers examine the effects of Universal Picture's "Fast and Furious" franchise, concluding that these Street Racing movies directly contribute to a rise in street racing related activity, which can and has resulted in street racing fatalities.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 01, 2011

After nearly a decade of research on the underground subculture of street racing, filmmakers Dominic Pena and Matt Goff recently released the only feature length documentary video on Street Racing – “1320 A West Coast Story.” The filmmakers examine the effects of Universal Picture’s “Fast and Furious” franchise, concluding that these Street Racing movies directly contribute to a rise in street racing related activity, which can and has resulted in street racing fatalities.

“It’s a no-brainer that we didn’t have any street racing deaths before the movie.” — Capt. Greg Meyer, LAPD

The above was a quote that the LA Times printed around the time that the second Fast and Furious film, “2 Fast 2 Furious” came out in 2003.

“We discussed the role the Fast and Furious movies became in acting as an instigator for street racing with varying law enforcement agencies throughout California. We spoke to Police Departments, Sheriffs Departments, and even the California Highway Patrol. The one thing that they all agreed upon was that there was a direct correlation between the opening of a Fast and Furious movie, and an increase in street racing activity,” said Dominic Pena, director of the Street Racing Documentary “1320 A West Coast Story.”

“We both called and sent emails via their (Universal Pictures) website, and it was as if we were invisible to them. All we wanted to do was talk with them about this phenomenon, and by them not responding to us, we knew we were on to something,” Dominic added.

“There have been numerous attempts to explain how street racing activity develops, and a recurring theme that we encountered over the course of the 9 year project was that whenever a Fast and Furious film would come out, street racing activity would spike. To us, it became empirically evident that there was a direct correlation between the release of a Fast and Furious movie, and the subsequent rise in street racing activity,” said Matt Goff, the film’s Producer.

“It wouldn’t be fair to completely blame this film franchise for the huge spike in street racing over the last decade, however, without a doubt, it was one of the major instigators. Ask any law enforcement agency across the country, and they will tell you: “Fast and Furious movies increase street racing activity,” added Dominic Pena.

“You can’t find much research on the subject of illegal street racing. We hope our film will not only bring entertainment value, but also, and more importantly, an educational experience to the viewer. This is an excellent educational piece for the kids. Don’t get us wrong, we think the Fast and Furious movies are very entertaining. The problem is that they glamorize the illegal activity. Previously nothing existed to show the other side – the reality of street racing. We are attempting to offset the Hollywood glamorization with factual documentation of real world occurrences,” said Dominic Pena.

“Our film is a non-narrative. Since we rely on the interviewees to do the talking, we feel we have created the most powerful piece of non-biased media to ever cover the subject of street racing. The movie features many prominent voices in the automotive industry including: real street racers, drag racers, law enforcement, magazine editors, the Founder of the NHRA Waly Parks, and many more,” said Matt Goff.

“For the parents out there, we would recommend that if you let your children watch these street racing movies, that you also show them the other side of the coin; show them the car accidents, the injuries and the loss of life that can occur if you participate in these illegal events,” said Dominic Pena.

“1320 A West Coast Story” is 95 minutes long, and can be found on Amazon, 1320movie.com, and Netflix.

Free excerpts of the movie can be found on their Street Racing YouTube Channel.

Becoming an “Unleader”, Discovering Unconventional Leadership in Uncommon Times

Posted: 01 May 2011 12:58 AM PDT

Becoming an "Unleader", Discovering Unconventional Leadership in Uncommon Times

Radical counter-cultural leadership that is needed now more than ever.

Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) May 01, 2011

What kind of leader would you be if you were suddenly handed more power? What if you got that promotion you wanted or a “headhunter” called tomorrow offering you your dream job? Would your leadership be an example of servanthood and justice, or would you give in to the temptations that power always presents?

Unleader, by noted author and speaker, Jane Overstreet, addresses head on the temptations faced by today's leaders to succumb to pride, power, wealth, and other pitfalls that often come with the responsibility of leadership.

By contrasting the leadership styles of Saul and David, Overstreet illustrates how leaders can influence a generation for good or evil, depending on the attitudes of the heart. In the time it took Samuel to pour oil on each of their heads, Saul and David both moved from unknown “kids” to kings of Israel. Their responses to that promotion had radically different outcomes. Saul made God sorry he had made him king. David brought joy to God as a man after his own heart.

Overstreet writes, "The world is hungry for humble, godly servant leaders who grasp why God has given them position and power. Leadership too often degenerates into being about us, our reputations and our agendas, but there is nothing further from the heart and mind of God than these selfish strivings."

Unleader (Biblica Publishing, $14.99, paper, ISBN: 9781606570395) is critical reading for people who believes God has called or placed them in a position of leadership.

Jane Overstreet is the President/CEO of Development Associates International (DAI) a non-profit organization providing training and consulting in leadership and organizational management to more than 10,000 Christian leaders annually in over 30 countries. Prior to joining DAI, Jane served for many years as the Director of Legal Services for Youth With A Mission International (YWAM) while living in the Middle East and Europe. She serves on the boards of several non-profit organizations. Jane is also a member of the Lausanne Leadership Development Working Group. Jane has been married for 29 years to Harold. They have three children and two grandchildren.
