The Power of CMN MOMENTUM Business as Ministry Seminars
Applying Business Best Practices to the Service of God, the Church, and Society
The Catholic Marketing Network strives to help our members maximize the impact of their mission. In 2019, we began a process to enhance the networking and connectivity benefits that we offer our members. The CMN Directory on our freshly updated website makes business and ministry connections as simple as a couple of clicks. Our new CMN Member Locator includes all CMN members, so everyone can not only SHOP local, but plan events and collaborate with local businesses and ministries as well. Find. Connect. Network. That is now the CMN online tagline.
Beyond just fostering personal and professional connections, CMN is actually a “brain-trust” of amazing professionals in marketing, ministry, and business development, whose knowledge can be a huge blessing to the other members. The Business as Ministry Seminar on Tuesday of CMN MOMENTUM Events, provides a truly affordable way to connect with these incredible professionals. CMN members, at any membership level, enjoy free access to this now enhanced conference portion of our our CMN event.
In 2019 the CMN Business as Ministry Seminar was blessed with an outstanding line-up of presenters who delivered powerful content on marketing and business development. Our audience was composed largely of CMN individual and retail members. However, the C-level members and exhibitors who were able to take time to attend one or all of the presentations were impressed with the value of the experience. Donna Heckler kicked us off with an excellent keynote on “Marketing God.” Steve Smith empowered attendees to understand and navigate technology challenges. Patrick Novecosky drilled down into the power of strategic messaging. Luncheon speaker, Sarah Christmyer, strengthened everyone as workers in God’s vineyard. Cathy Gilmore provided a fun “bootcamp” perspective on business basics. Jimmy Mitchell wrapped up the day instructing in the mutual gift of mentoring.
In the coming years, we heartily encourage each of our event exhibitors to send at least one member of their team to experience the CMN Business as Ministry “BAM” Seminar in the future. This quality of business best practice training would cost hundreds of dollars at other conference events, but with CMN, access is included for free with each membership.
CMN is:
CATHOLIC
The CMN has spent nearly 30 years as a support network for businesses and ministries engaged in Catholic evangelization. We consider it an honor to be a force for unity among pro-life Catholic entrepreneurs, professionals, and organizational leaders. Our membership community empowers and energizes on-fire Catholics to engage deeply, and share confidently, the goodness, truth, and beauty of the Catholic faith.
MARKETING
The CMN helps businesses and ministries who serve the needs of Catholics to connect with their target customers and constituents. We do this by facilitating business-to-business awareness of our member’s products and services. Our online CMN Directory now enables CMN members to build brand or ministry awareness directly to Catholic individuals and families as well. The spectrum of affordable CMN marketing & advertising options, serve both small and large businesses and ministries.
NETWORK
Most importantly, CMN is a trusted source for solidarity among organizations who serve Catholic organizations and individuals. Hundreds of business companies and non-profit ministries have made substantive strides in the growth of their organization by making connections through CMN. Our online platform, and our annual events, are important facilitators to foster powerful relationships. CMN truly is "Where the Catholic Marketplace Comes Together!"
