- 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
