Seattle Breakfast Event
Thursday, May 24, 2012 7:30 - 9:00 am
Upper Gwinn on the Seattle Pacific University campus
"Can you be a Christian and be in Marketing?"
Being a Christian in business is not always easy. The goal is to walk consistently with your faith, but sometimes, depending on the job, there are challenges. While the subject of this particular panel is marketing, many of the challenges are in common with other areas. We envision similar panels addressing technology, sales, finance, and product development in the future.
Our panelists (who have each been speakers at Kiros previously) will address four questions in their opening remarks, and then we will have dialogue between the panelists before opening the discussion to the audience. Here are the questions the panelists have been asked to address:
1. What are the pitfalls in marketing for a Christian?
2. What are the opportunities?
3. What is a situation that has given you great pause?
4. What is a situation that has given you great joy?
