Crown Asks "Do You Want To Change the World … at Work," Launches National Business Summit
"The Crown Business Leader Summit will provide decision makers with strategies for creating a business that benefits customers, employees and owners with lasting value," said Crown President Robert Dickie III.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Everything you need to know about running a business can be found in the best-selling book of all time…the Bible," noted Crown President Robert Dickie III. "But most people have not analyzed how timeless financial advice can transform today's market." To combine economic strategies with integrity-based business principles, Crown Financial Ministries developed the Crown Business Leader Summit, a two-day conference that will be offered around the country, now coming to Knoxville, Tennessee April 17-18, 2015.
"This Summit offering is for business leaders who want to grow their business and for consultants and professional advisors who want tools to help their clients. Beyond the practical tools, this is an event for people who want to change the world – at work – but not just for their own bottom line -- for everyone who comes in contact with their business," said Dickie. "This is the perfect conference for economic leaders who are serious about meeting their goals for greater corporate social responsibility (CSR), who want to make a difference in the lives they touch."
A highlight of the event will be remarks from two people whose lives and success show that values don't need to cut profits.
Anne Beiler: The founder of Auntie Anne's pretzels, Anne Beiler began her business in 1987 because she wanted to support her husband's desire to offer free counseling services in their community. Beginning at a roadside stand, she went on to build the world's largest hand rolled soft pretzel franchise with over 1,200 locations worldwide. As a businesswoman, she was named one of America's 500 women entrepreneurs by Working Women and Entrepreneur of the Year by Inc. Magazine. As a woman with a heart for her community, she and her husband invested in counseling and community services, going even further since selling the business. Today, she is an inspirational author and speaker, as well as a leader in her community, always looking for a place to make a difference.
Wade Myers: Investor, entrepreneur, advisor and well-known speaker Wade Myers has created a diverse network of companies and business relationships for the purpose of empowering people and businesses to both prosper and serve. Wade founded/co-founded and served as a board director of over 25 companies and has completed 55 financing and M&A transactions as part of his business building strategy. In addition, he developed business education through Venture Academy and in partnership with the Crown Business Channel, Crownbiz, a unique on-line education for working professionals.
