This is an invite-only event for you to connect with our network of UBN sponsors, meet some other Christian business owners, get an inside look at UBN plans for 2025, and be blessed and inspired by our guest speaker,
Tom Petersen
After a brief and ill-fated start as a daily newspaper reporter, Tom C. Petersen spent decades in the corporate world as a utility communications professional. He is a husband and father with two master’s degrees and a deep and bitter jealousy of anyone who has a PhD. He has been a church elder, nonprofit board member, and homeowners’ association board president, which is just about the worst job in the entire world.
He is intrigued by the challenge of living out our faith with integrity in a workplace that usually doesn't play by those rules. He finds the conflict between the two downright funny. He hopes his struggles serve to encourage others who try to navigate the same path. His rants have appeared in outlets like CBN.com, The High Calling site of the Theology of Work Project, and, most recently, WorkLight and Unconventional Business Network. He posts regularly on LinkedIn. He is the author of a book of humorous essays of how badly he struggles in this area: Thank God It’s Monday(?): Balancing Work and Faith While Keeping Your Sense of Humor.
Join us from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm at Pennie Carroll and Associates for some lunch and a short program. Is there someone you think would be interested in connecting with UBN? Please extend an invitation! We look forward to connecting!
Doors open at 11:00am.
