Elder David A. Bednar featured at Feb. 4 CES fireside

Elder David A. Bednar, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, will be the featured speaker for a Church Educational System fireside Sunday, Feb. 4, at 6 p.m. at Brigham Young University's Marriott Center.

The fireside will be broadcast live on the BYU-Television and BYU-Radio satellite networks and at byubroadcasting.org. Rebroadcast information is available at byubroadcasting.org.

Following his full-time mission to southern Germany, Elder Bednar graduated from BYU with bachelor's and master's degrees. He then completed his education at Purdue University, where he earned a doctoral degree in organizational behavior.

His professional life has included service as a professor of business management at Texas Tech University and the University of Arkansas. At the time of his call to the Quorum of the Twelve in October 2004, he was also serving as president of BYU-Idaho, a position he had held since 1997.
