The University of Saint Francis' Business Community Roundtable Luncheon Series was started in October, 2005, with a discussion about the changing business environment in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and its impact on employment opportunities for our graduates. 

Hosted by the Keith Busse School of Business & Entrepreneurial Leadership, this luncheon series is designed to allow local business leaders to share their expertise with our students and also to provide students an opportunity to network with business leaders.

Each program opens with lunch and informal conversation, followed by a speaker or a panel discussion.  At the close of the program, there is an open forum for discussion and questions.

To date, the following business leaders have spoken at our luncheons:

  • Jim Vann, Jr., Board of Trustees and Chairman of Rea Magnet Wire Company
  • Richard T. Doermer, Board of Trustees and Former Chairman and CEO of NBD
  • Charlie Mason, Jr., President and CEO of Parkview Health
  • Don Steinnger, President of Steininger Development
  • Kirk Kimmish, Northeast Indiana Corporate Council
  • Adam Sieminski, Chief Energy Economist for Deutsche Bank
