B.E.E.R: Economic Opportunities & Impacts Facing Minnesota Businesses
Wednesday, May 17
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM / Hilton Minneapolis St. Paul Airport
 
What does the future of economic development look like in the business community, and what role will your company play? Bill Blazar, Senior Vice President of Public Affairs and Business Development at the Minnesota Chamber, will report on current economic conditions, state policies that are of great concern to the region's businesses, and how they will be addressed by the 2017 Legislature.

Blazar's comments will draw from hundreds of recent one-on-one visits with Twin Cities businesses completed by the Minnesota Chamber's Grow Minnesota! program. You'll leave this meeting knowing how the region's economy is likely to perform this year, what the Minnesota Chamber recommends state policy makers do to improve it, and whether or not legislators and the Governor will act this year.
