The Lorentzsen Center for Faith and Work at Concordia College invites the community to a free soup and salad lunchtime conversation with entrepreneur Joe Burgum, executive director of Folkways, from noon to 1:15 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5.
The event will take place in Barry Auditorium inside the Grant Center of the Offutt School of Business. It will also be available over Zoom.
Burgum, who founded local community nonprofit Folkways, will share his perspective and reflections on leadership, community involvement, and advocacy. Folkways is dedicated to creating experiences where people belong, bringing the community together for compelling, creative cultural experiences, and helping fight the loneliness epidemic.
This is a free event, but people are asked to pre-register at LorentzsenCenter.com. People who wish to attend virtually may register there as well.
About the Lorentzsen Center for Faith and Work
The Lorentzsen Center honors the life, work, and legacy of Norman M. Lorentzsen, renowned philanthropist, former CEO of Burlington Northern, alumnus of Concordia College, and former member and chair of its Board of Regents. Through his life and generosity, Lorentzsen helped to build a joyful, just, and more trustworthy world.
In honor of that legacy, the Lorentzsen Center takes up the question, “How do we build a more trustworthy world?” The center explores that question through keynote events, a podcast, and a regular newsletter. Dr. Michael Chan, vice president for mission and inclusion, oversees the Lorentzsen Center.
