"Minnesota business is unique. Its history, focus, and development are as rich as southern Minnesota soil and its future is as bright as the Vikings Stadium on a Sunday in the fall. Leadership Minnesota gives Minnesota’s top business leaders insight into the unknown elements that make our state a powerhouse in an otherwise quiet upper Midwest. From farming to financial services, participants will learn what makes our home tick, what opportunities are on the horizon, and above all, make the connections that will help us rise to the challenges before us more united than before and more prosperous than we dreamed.  No “too busy” excuse justifies missing a Leadership Minnesota experience." - Eric Levenhagen, 2023-2024 Chair Leadership Minnesota, Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer, Sun Country Airlines
