Zooming in: Finding meaning in measurement

On behalf of the Minnesota Compass Governance Committee, and the collaborative of foundations supporting Minnesota Compass, we invite you to attend our 7th Annual Meeting and Lunch. Take this opportunity to reconnect with others who are leading efforts to secure the vitality of communities throughout our state, and to hear about work in three particularly crucial areas: education, transportation, and local communities.

Because of limited space, there is now a waiting list. Please contact Ruth Hamberg to join the waiting list. Thank you for your interest!
