Register by Today at Noon | Business Day at the Capitol | March 8th

Once again this year, accompanied by our Leadership Perspectives Class, we will be traveling to St. Paul for Business Day at the Capitol. This year is sure to be a fun event as the Capitol renovations are done and it is open for tours.

We will leave from the Chamber parking lot at 7:30 am. When we arrive we will start out with a tour of the newly renovated Capitol building, participate in the MN Chamber lunch program at the InterContinental St. Paul Riverfront (11 E Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul), and then we will travel to the State Office Building to meet with Representative Baker and Senator Lang before departing at 3:45 pm, returning around 5:45 pm.

Registrations must be received no later than Wednesday, March 1st.

Cost for the day is $75, which includes a continental breakfast, lunch, meeting materials and transportation to and from the Capitol. For more information, or to register contact the Willmar Lakes Area Chamber at 235.0300 or contact Ken Warner, Chamber President at kwarner@willmarareachamber.com.
