Wednesday, February 17, 2010 - Breakfast- 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.  at The Pacific Club, Newport Beach
Featured Speaker: Bill Heatley, Principal Program Manager - Kaiser Permanente-IT SCAL Business Information Office


Bill Heatley,Principal Program Manager, at Kaiser Permanente (KP), has decades of experience in corporate America as an Information Technology professional. He helped upgrading KP's medical records and billing systems, the largest project of its kind in the U.S. He has served Fortune 500 companies and managed his own business, both roles providing him with necessary insights as a Christian. Heatley had seen Christians check their faith at the door of the office time and again. "Deeply committed Christians were hurting folks," he said. The workplace, it appeared, was not open to God. Heatley wants to change that, "the power of the kingdom is available in the workplace."
 
Author of, The Gift of Work, (NAV Press), he asks, "Do you need a fresh perspective on work?" Incorporating practical wisdom and stimulating ideas from great Christian thinkers, especially Dallas Willard, Heatley explores the God-given blessings of human industry. Discover the divine purpose behind your labors, how to develop God's attitude toward your job, and how spiritual disciplines in the workplace reflect the reality of God's kingdom.

Friday, March 12, 2010 - 7th annual Faith and Business Forum, presented by Concordia University, Irvine at Irvine Hyatt Regency,
11:30 a.m. registration and network, 12:00 noon luncheon


Keynote Speaker:  Mr. Ken Costa--Chairman, Lazard International (London) and immediate past Vice Chairman, UBS Investment Bank (London). Ken is a 30-year veteran investment banker in the city of London and author of: God At Work-Living Every Day With Purpose 

In God at Work, Mr. Costa writes about how the Christian faith should and can be lived out in day to day life at work.  As a London-based investment banker, he has read The Financial Times and the Bible almost every day for over thirty years.  But there is a widespread view that God and business just do not mix.  The competitive, cut throat demands of the marketplace are seen as the obvious enemy of Christian compassion and love.  To Ken, the God who created and sustains the world is also the God of the workplace. He writes:
 
If the Christian faith is not relevant to the workplace, it is not relevant at all.
 
By using the Biblical principles that underpin his faith and applying them to the 21st century workplace of today, Costa offers practical advice on tackling the common problems familiar to many:  the work-life balance, stress, ambition, failure and disappointment.  Mr. Costa is also the chairman of Alpha International
