[#mnrising Dispatch] May 2015
May 2015 marks Minnesota Rising's 6th anniversary! We're excited to look back at the meaningful work we've helped to catalyze over the past half-dozen years, including publishing 1,347 blog posts, hosting five annual Un/Conferences, conducting 203 cascading conversations, developing four Collaborative Competence Learning Labs to help young leaders navigate and shape the emerging future, launching LOCUS to emphasize identity-driven leadership for emerging leaders of color, and expanding our efforts into the West Central region of the state with our Greater Minnesota Rising initiative. Most of all, we're grateful for your partnership with us in this work, and we invite you to join us as continue to build on our efforts! In particular, we invite you to:
- Join us at our June 8 Sounding Board Session + Social featuring Matt Lewis of GREATER MSP who will share about the Make It. MSP campaign at Surly Brewing.
- Serve on the "Our Minnesota" Cascading Conversations Tour 2015 Advance Team. We'd ask for you to host 3 - 5 conversations in order to help us reach our goal of 50. Let us know if you can join us at our orientation on Monday, June 15!

In celebration of our anniversary, we're excited to share with you the report and our initial findings! [Read more.]

In the spirit of keeping our engines running, here are simple questions you can ask yourself. [Read more.]
