Journey to Growth has us thinking and acting regionally, so Rochester on Tour gives way to SE Minnesota on Tour! Working
with our neighboring Chambers, SE Minnesota will make its presence know by sending bus loads of Chamber members from across the region, up I-35 and Highways 52 and 61 to converge on St. Paul. We’ll be bringing a regional agenda to focus the legislature on the issues that matter to our economy. The day starts with a continental breakfast and rally at the start of each route. Upon arrival, a full schedule of legislative meetings, breakout sessions and a keynote luncheon will await the attendees. We finish the day with an appetizer reception before the ride back home. This event is designed to keep SE Minnesota in the forefront of the minds of Minnesota Legislators. The event allows a great opportunity to network and build relationships with businesses from many hometowns!
