Our Marketplace Ministry exists to help Christians in organizations of any size to thrive spiritually, personally and in their place of business. We want to equip and empower business professionals to use their God-given gifts and abilities to help build companies that are built on the foundation of God's Kingdom principles.
Our Marketplace Ministry Forums feature a presentation by a notable business leader on what it means to thrive in the workplace as a follower of Christ. Forums are designed to connect business people within the church as well as to train and inspire participants to excel in the workplace. Following the presentation, there will be time for small group discussion and networking.
Our speaker and panel discussion leader for the January Forum is Ruann Ernst, former chairman and CEO of Digital Island. Dr. Ernst is a three-time graduate of The Ohio State University. She worked in industry with Hewlett-Packard, as manager of the Financial Services Business Unit and as Manager with General Electric in Information Services. She has also served as director of the Medical Computing Services Division and assistant professor of Medicine and Computer Science at The Ohio State University, and as a congressional fellow in the Office of Technology Assessment.
Ruann has served on several corporate and non-profit boards, and is currently Board Chair of Healthy LifeStars™, a non-profit addressing childhood obesity. She will share insights on “Work-Life Integration”.
The presentation will include a panel with people of different ages and industries and participant roundtable discussion of the featured topic. Lunch will be provided.
