Business Day at the Capitol

Join your peers from across the State of Minnesota to advance your business priorities face-to-face with legislators.  Attend an informative luncheon program and hear from key business leaders on one of Minnesota's top legislative reform issues: health care.  Get briefed on issues and then ride the buses to pre-arranged meetings with your key legislators.  Afterward return by bus for an informal reception.  There is a pro-business majority -- let's make the most of this opportunity!
