Arkansas Catholic is publishing a feature, Leading with Faith to profile Catholics who stand out for their faith-driven leadership at their business or organization. We want to celebrate Catholic business professionals in Arkansas whose business practices reflect the teachings of Christ and his Church.

Selected leaders will be featured in the Oct. 12 issue of Arkansas Catholic in these categories:
• Large business (50 or more employees)
• Small business (Fewer than 50 employees)
• Nonprofit organization

How do you know who’s a Leader in Faith? Here are some ideas.
• Maybe you see it in the way they treat their employees and customers.
• Maybe they assure a living wage and benefits for their workers.
• They may be role models or mentors to their team or others in the community.
• Their business may be active supporters, in cash or in kind, of the Church or community.
• Maybe they use their professional skills to volunteer in extraordinary ways.
• They may have persevered by faith in the face of personal or professional struggles.

Do you know a person who has Christ, faith or mercy at the center of both their personal and working lives? Nominate any active Catholic business professional working in the Diocese of Little Rock who displays faith, morality and ethics in their workplace.
