It’s hard to believe it’s already been two months since Travis & I traveled to the Business Development Conference (BDC).
BDC brings teams together from across the country to explore new Thrivent resources, marketing and branding updates, and strategies focused on growing practices while making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve. Travis and Liz came back with fresh ideas and insights to help us continue delivering value to our clients and community partners.
Take a look at a few highlights from our trip!📸

Over the last several weeks, we may have been quieter on social media, but behind the scenes we’ve been anything but still. In person, we’ve been fully hands-on and pedal to the metal with our clients and business development 🚀
During this time, we’ve:
- Attended two conferences 🎤
- Traveled out of state multiple times for client work ✈️
- Continued studying for upcoming certifications 📚
- Helped clients hit key milestones and prepare for tax season 💼
Each of these experiences has strengthened our knowledge, sharpened our skill sets, and given us the clarity and rest needed to serve our clients even better.
More details—and plenty of photos—are on the way as we catch our breath and share what we’ve been building 📸✨
For the 15th consecutive year, Thrivent has been named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere. It’s an honor to work for an organization that’s committed to serving its clients, its workforce and its community with integrity.
