GREATER MSP: Doubling Down On Our Region’s Economic Success
Jul. 10, 2019
Coming out of the Great Recession, our region’s job growth was lagging behind the national average and we weren’t winning our fair share of economic expansion. This realization led to the Itasca Project, an employer-led civic alliance focused on building a thriving economy and improved quality of life, creating the GREATER MSP Partnership in 2011. This was a critical shift in approach to expanding our region’s economy to compete and win on a global scale. Together we are making Greater MSP one of the world’s best regions to live and work. The GREATER MSP Partnership is doubling down on our region’s future economic success. Its board of directors, along with hundreds of Investors, partners and stakeholders throughout the region are accelerating this effort in Partnership 2.0. We are advancing a bolder vision and mission, increased strategic alignment, a clear organizational strategy and stronger partner communications. The Partnership’s unique platform of collaboration exists to channel inspiration, harness innovation, and propel our region forward in an ever-changing and competitive global economy. This is an exciting time to be engaged in the GREATER MSP Partnership. |

As a follow up to our Holiday Gift Drive donations received during our COLRC club meetings on 12/4 and 12/11, join us for a fun evening helping kids at the Boys & Girls Club Northeast location (address below) to help kids wrap gifts and shop for their families. It is important to register yourself and any guests for this event!
When: December 18th from 4pm – 7pm (for those who are able, you can get there as early as 2:00 p.m.) Where: Jerry Gamble – 2410 Irving Avenue North, Minneapolis What: Shop with kids; Wrap gifts; Assist with holiday crafts and cookies!
Kids Can Give ensures all Boys & Girls Club members have a joyous holiday season as they partake in the act of giving. Each December, Club members are asked to give a small $3-5 donation that will support a youth-driven holiday celebration at each Club. In return, each young person is able to shop for gifts for their families in the Kids Can Give holiday stores set up at each Boys & Girls Club. The holiday stores are filled with gifts that have been donated from community members and organizations.
It will be an incredible experience for all involved to see the excitement in the kids as they think of their loved ones and shop for special holiday gifts! Gifts are wrapped on-site with the help of staff and volunteers and are sent home with the kids just in time for the holidays. After our volunteering, we will then meet for happy hour to enjoy each other's company and pretend that we've been whisked away to an island location at Psycho Suzi's Tiki Bar. If you're not able to make the volunteer event, please feel free to join us afterward. psychosuzis.com
