"My life has changed. How? I personally have been able to have more extra time with my family, as I don't have to spend so much time on my farm. Because of increase in our funds that we get from Lehi Poultry Farm, I've been able to also increase the amount of money I pay as tithing to the Church [of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints], which is helping millions around the world."
-Ivan Luweire, founder of Lehi Poultry Farm

Andrés Romeu, President of the Byu Management Society Capitulo Argentina, recently shared his journey of faith-filled education during a BYU-Pathway Worldwide devotional.

It is no easy task to balance a career, family life, and community leadership. As a JPMorgan Chase & Co. Vice President, BYU-Pathway alumnus, husband, and father, Andrés understands the unique pressures modern professionals face.

He shares: "The path is not always easy when we are studying or working; it certainly is not a straight line," yet, "...With faith in our Savior, all things are possible for us—not just some things, but all things, regardless of our current circumstances."

The BYU Management Society is grateful for exemplary leadership like Andrés’s in Argentina and across our entire global network.
