December 18 Business Forum at the Guthrie Theater

Minnesota_State_CapitolThe December EDC Business Forum will take place at the Guthrie Theater. Registration, lunch and networking start at 11:30 a.m., with the EDC Update and guest presentations staring at Noon. The cost to attend the event is just $20.

Forum Description

The midterm elections are now complete and the Minnesota Legislature will head into 2015 in a new power sharing mode. Will post election commitments to bi-partisanship hold in the 2015 session?
