Avoiding Data Theft & Identity Fraud
Every year more people have money stolen or— much worse— have their identity stolen. The most vulnerable, surprisingly, are those whose age is 20 – 59! In 2016 the FBI received nearly 300,000 complaints of cybercrime! The total loss in the U.S. was more than 1.3 billion dollars! In this session you’ll learn:
- What some of the most common fraud tactics are,
- What the latest trends indicate, and
How to protect yourself, your family, your church, and your congregation.

ChMS Issues & VoIP Considerations
A constant topic of conversation among church leadership and staff is about Church Management Software (ChMS).
- How do you know if you need to make a change?
- What strategies and solutions should you consider?

And what about phone system options? There is a lot of salesmanship going on in that field. We’ll introduce VoIP— it’s benefits and enough details to help recognize good and not-so-good options.
