MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TN (April 4, 2008) — Milligan College will recognize local leaders who have demonstrated servant leadership in their careers and community at their annual Leaders in Christian Service program on Tuesday, April 8, at 11 a.m. in Seeger Chapel.
“The purpose of this program is to provide examples of people who are doing an outstanding job of integrating their faith with their profession,” said Milligan President Donald R. Jeanes. “We see in these individuals wonderful examples of what servant leadership is all about, and what it can look like on a daily basis in a variety of professions.”
Paul Montgomery, vice president for talent management at Eastman Chemical Company, will serve as the keynote speaker for the program.
Montgomery, a graduate of King College, Bristol, Tenn., first joined Eastman in 1991 in the supply and distribution division. A year later he was appointed as a community relations representative for the division. After holding positions of increasing responsibility, he was named director of corporate relations and travel, a position he held until being appointed vice president. Prior to Eastman, Montgomery served as manager of production planning at Texas Instruments.
