Founded in 1996 by Brian Thatcher and a group of five CEOs and business owners, Convene was created to meet a vital need.

At the same time, they helped them integrate their faith with their work to make a great Kingdom impact. Here’s a great video Convene recently we did that outlines the importance for community in the life of an entrepreneur.
