Connecting the Region's Top Leaders Virtually
With the variability and significance of COVID-19 in Minnesota at this time, our Conference Planning Team has decided to conduct the conference virtually in order to accommodate community safety and potential restriction revisions.
​
Despite this, we still encourage individual chapter's to utilize "satellite locations" to further enhance attendee's experiences.
