[Minnesota Rising] May 2010 Update

After an energizing meeting earlier this month, things continue to move along as Minnesota Rising works with local emerging leader organizations to collaborate and develop a collective vision for the common good of Minnesota.

• Minnesota Emerging Leader Organizations Directory Huge thanks to Trisha Reinwald and YNPN-TC for sharing their document and to Megan Powers for her work in updating the directory to include the additional organizations we mapped earlier this month. More work is needed to figure out how best to share this information and to make it a living document, but for now, we at least have a helpful sense of the whole. For the most updated copy, email minnesotarising@gmail.com.

• Minnesota Emerging Leaders Un/Conference Please RSVP to minnesotarising@gmail.com for location details if you're interested in attending our first planning meeting, slated for one week from today on Wednesday, June 2 from 5:30PM-7:00PM. It's exciting to think of the possibilities for an event like this and we look forward to your ideas and help!

In keeping in line with our theme of collaboration, I'm adding a few links below for some of the organizational announcements I've come across lately. Feel free to share and send in some of your own to minnesotarising@gmail.com!
