Maggie Martin Marketplace Leadership Summit slated for April 14

March 19, 2026

By LCU News

PINEVILLE, La. (LCU News) – Louisiana Christian University’s 4th Annual Dr. Maggie Martin Marketplace Leadership Summit will be held April 14 at the Granberry Conference Center.

The keynote speaker for this year’s event is comedian Mike Goodwin.

His signature bowtie represents his expectation-defying brand of comedy that leaves a variety of audiences – from churches to corporate events to swanky galas laughing hysterically and completely inspired, without a foul or vulgar word spoken, according to mikegoodwin.com.

Goodwin, a South Carolina native, holds a master’s degree in education from the University of South Carolina and is a veteran of the U.S. Army. He is a former primary and secondary education professional. He infuses his varied life experiences into his act, making him relatable to all.

Using his ability to merge leadership and laughter, Mike is a powerful communicator whose primary goal is to leave places and people better than he found them. He has appeared on America’s Got Talent, Dry Bar Comedy, Today Show, Lifetime, BET, Amazon Prime, TBN, Daystar, USA, the Word Network, Circle TV and SiriusXM.

Tickets are still available for this highly anticipated annual event and can be purchased at https://lcuniversity.edu/leadershipsummit/. Individual tickets are $25, and tables may be purchased for $150. Sponsorship opportunities are also available.

The event is held from 11:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Lunch is provided.

The Dr. Maggie Martin Marketplace Leadership Summit was established through a generous donation by Natalie and Darryl Monroe as an annual spring event for business and industry leaders in Central Louisiana who live out their faith in their workplaces. It was named in honor of Natalie’s mother, an outstanding community volunteer and philanthropist.
