Far too often business leaders shy away from sharing that voice when the political climate is dominated by partisan, divisive noise. In 2022, Minnesota will elect all eight seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, our governor and four other constitutional offices, 134 members of the Minnesota House of Representatives, and 67 members of the Minnesota Senate. When the election dust settles, how can you maximize the opportunity to engage elected officials on public policy matters affecting your business and industry? In this session, public affairs and community engagement experts Elizabeth Emerson and Sara Swenson from Goff Public will share best practices for building positive relationships with policymakers and strategies for influencing policy. Join us to learn how you can build allies in government and protect your business interests, no matter which way the political winds blow.
