SUMMARY:Hennepin Summit
DESCRIPTION:We’d like to gather leaders in Minneapolis and Suburban Hennepin County to get everyone up to date on what’s coming up in our region! \nYou have all been showing up in amazing ways this year and it is having an impact. We are now poised to do some pretty powerful work this spring: ambitious plans to meet with City Council members\, a few more of our urban legislators\, Met Council members and County Commissioners. All toward the goal of creating more homes for families with the lowest incomes and keeping people in the homes they have. If we have learned anything this year it’s how essential our voices are in keeping a focus on this. \nSo this summit of awesome Hennepin leaders will give you and your teams a chance to see what you are working on in the big picture and make educated choices about where your congregation can make the biggest difference by showing up. We hope someone will attend from each congregation in Hennepin County.
