MN Chamber Session Priorities

The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce presents 2021 Session Priorities on Wednesday, January 6, 2021 in a new virtual format. Executive orders and social distancing regulations do not allow an event at the magnitude members have become accustomed to; however, we are pleased that we still will be able to provide high-caliber, prestigious content that our members have come to expect at our kick-off to the legislative session. 

This year’s event will include:

*  Live interview with Governor Tim Walz

* Legislative Leaders Senator Paul Gazelka, Senator Susan Kent, Representative Melissa Hortman and Representative Kurt Daudt interviewed by Tom Hauser, KSTP-TV

*  Introduction to freshmen legislators

*  Reveal of the Minnesota Chamber’s Blueprint for Economic Recovery

Added benefits include:

*  New lower ticket price

*  Condensed programming – 90 minutes

*   No loud crowded hallways during the reception

*  No parking hassles

*  No need to worry about the weather for driving

*  Everyone has a front row seat!
