Session Priorities Dinner

 
Join us at Session Priorities, the premier kickoff event to the 2020 Legislature. As the largest gathering of business and public policy leaders, this annual high-profile reception and dinner attracts a sell-out crowd of nearly 2,000 people from around the state. Our Governor and the four legislative leaders are invited to present their legislative priorities, and the Minnesota Chamber introduces its agenda as well. Network with business and public-policy leaders from across the state. Learn first hand the issues that will be center stage at the Capitol. 

The White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce has reserved a table for 10 at this year's Session Priorities event. If you are interested in attending, contact Tom Snell to reserve your place at our table.
