Calling all emerging leader and young professional organizations across Minnesota! We're gearing up for an amazing Minnesota Rising 2011 Un/Conference: Building A Network For What's Next and are looking for some partners in crime.

The deadline's Friday, September 9 and we hope to hear from you and yours soon!

Founded in 2009, Minnesota Rising is the network of emerging leaders in Minnesota. Minnesota Rising works to build relationships, trust, and a shared vision for the future of Minnesota, and engages emerging leaders and young professional organizations to work toward that call both now and in the future. Through Minnesota Rising’s online presence, annual Un/Conference, Minnesota Rising Council, and research, we are building the collective capacity of this generation for impacting Minnesota's future.

The Minnesota Rising 2011 Un/Conference: Building A Network For What's Next will be held on Saturday, October 22, 2011 from 10:00AM - 6:00PM at the CoCo coworking and collaborative space in St. Paul, MN. The daylong Un/Conference will bring together emerging leaders for innovative learning and dialogue, skills-building, and network-building with their peers.

Being a Network Partner is as simple as letting your membership know about the Un/Conference. During three promotional pushes leading up to the Un/Conference, we’ll provide customizable promotion text, including Twitter, Facebook, and newsletter blurbs, for you to adapt and use in your own social media outlets.
