Minnesota Business Day at the Capitol
March 8th, 2010 by Kelli PoehlsMinnesota Business Day at the Capitol gives you the chance to share your views and concerns directly with state policy-makers. Join us March 10 in St. Paul as we represent companies from our community alongside businesses from across the state and personally visit with our local legislators.
Participation is especially critical this year given the tremendous focus on balancing the budget in the midst of the national recession and legislative consideration of bills to stimulate job creation.
More than 600 people come together as one statewide business voice at this event which has become the largest lobbying day in Minnesota. In its 17th year, it is an excellent venue for the business community to speak with a single voice on common priorities. Issues for this year are balancing the state, advocating for permanent flood protection for the Red River Valley, and making certain that taxpayers receive the greatest value for every dollar spent on the state’s infrastructure system.
The event kicks off at the Crowne Plaza Hotel St. Paul-Riverfront, 11 East Kellogg Boulevard, St. Paul. Two sessions are offered to accommodate schedules. Session I runs from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and Session II runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.
Both sessions will begin with opening remarks addressing the legislative session followed by the chance to attend briefings by Minnesota Chamber staff on the business community’s top priorities. There will be a noon lunch program where the Governor traditionally gives an address.
Demonstrate your commitment to the priorities of Minnesota’s business community – and thus the state’s economic vitality – by joining with the Minnesota Chamber and local chambers statewide for this event.
