Minnesota Rising Dispatch] May 2018

[#mnrising Dispatch] May 2018

Minnesota Rising celebrates nine years as a network this month! To mark the occasion and honor the manifold transitions that our individual members as well as our collective network have made in that time, we are hosting our first Minnesota Rising RE:treat. The daylong gathering will provide an opportunity for emerging leaders to reflect, connect with self and others, integrate intentions and actions, and feel a sense of renewal and clarity. See below for more details and we hope we will see you there. Thanks in the meantime for helping us reach 9 and we look forward to being able to make it a decade together as the network for what's next!
