This year’s speakers will include 1) Kirk Perry, President, Brand Solutions at Google, 2) Anne Graham Lotz, President of Angel Ministries, 3) Phil Visher, Founder & CEO of Jellyfish Labs, Creator of Veggie Tales, 4) Dee Ann Turner, Vice President, Chick-fil-A, 5) Jim Munroe, Christian Illusionist, 6) Col. Lee Ellis, Founder and President of Leadership Freedom, and 7) Ray Hilbert, Co-Founder of Truth at Work.
“This will be our second year hosting this outstanding leadership event. The speakers come from all walks of life but share a common belief that living out their faith in their chosen professions is part of their everyday witness. We invite you to join us and be encouraged and inspired by these impactful Christian leaders,” stated Mark Schenkel, director of community relations/major gifts officer.
