Networking is His Gift and His Ministry<\/b><\/p>\n
1993 alumnus Bill Montgomery is Mr. Connections. The chief sales officer for 104.9 The River (WCVO-FM) in Gahanna, Ohio, and Cedarville adjunct broadcast and digital media professor loves to connect people who can help one another. It\u2019s his gift, and it\u2019s his ministry.<\/span><\/p>\n Bill saw the power of connections when he was a student at Cedarville. Professors would bring in alumni and leaders in the broadcast media industry to talk and meet with students.<\/span><\/p>\n His networking skills became a key element in his career, as he found advertisers who supported\u00a0 Christian radio and its mission of delivering the Gospel to listening ears.<\/span><\/p>\n Mr. Connections has also seen this passion benefit one of his favorite organizations, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). He finds joy in helping others experience and then become supporters of FCA\u2019s ministry of raising of up athletes who share their hope in Christ.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He especially loves helping his students discover the vast array of Cedarville alumni and supporters who can help them as they seek out God\u2019s direction for their career.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhen I meet somebody, my mind goes, \u2018Who do I know that could use what this person does?\u2019 and that automatically creates four or five other connections,\u201d Bill shares in the podcast. \u201cSome of my greatest days are when I take this person that I know and this person that I know, and they\u2019ve never met, and I can put them together and they benefit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
