LEADERSHIP MINNESOTA- WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE 19TH YEAR OF OFFERING LEADERSHIP MINNESOTA TO OUR MEMBERSHIP. LEADERSHIP MINNESOTA SERVES TO ENHANCE THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE STATE'S ECONOMY AND THE ROLE OF PUBLIC POLICY FOR MINNESOTA'S BUSINESS LEADERS. THIRTY FIVE PARTICIPANTS FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF MINNESOTA WILL TRAVEL ACROSS THE STATE WITH THE GOAL OF INCREASING THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT DRIVES MINNESOTA'S ECONOMY AND HOW PUBLIC POLICY AFFECTS THE SUCCESS OF BUSINESS IN OUR STATE. THEY WILL TOUR VARIOUS COMPANIES AND TALK DIRECTLY WITH INDUSTRY AND COMPANY LEADERS ABOUT THEIR ECONOMIC IMACT TO OUR STATE, THEIR CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES AND FUTURE PLANS. THE 2020-2021 GROUP WILL BE SELECTED IN APRIL AND WILL BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER IN MANKATO. THEY ALSO WILL TRAVEL UP NORTH TO THE IRON RANGE, DOWN SOUTH TO THE AUSTIN AREA AND TWO SESSIONS IN THE TWIN CITIES WITH THE FINAL ONE IN ST. PAUL WITH A FOCUS ON POLICY AND OUR STATE'S ECONOMY.

THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY FINANCE PROGRAM (BESFP) IS A GRANT PROGRAM OF THE MINNESOTA CHAMBER FOUNDATION. THE PURPOSE OF THE BESFP GRANT PROGRAM IS TO MOTIVATE BUSINESS OWNERS TO COMPLETE ENERGY EFFICIENCY OR WASTE REDUCTION PROJECTS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE NOT GET DONE WITHOUT BESFP GRANT. GRANTS OF UP TO $3,000 MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR PRE-QUALIFIED ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND WASTE MANAGEMENT PROJECTS. BESFP GRANT PROGRAM WORKS CLOSELY WITH ENERGY SMART OR WASTE WISE STAFF TO IDENTIFY PROJECTS THAT MAY QUALIFY FOR A GRANT. ELIGIBLE PROJECTS INCLUDE ENERGY EFFICIENT PROJECTS THAT RECIEVE AN ENERGY UTILITY REBATE AND WASTE PROJECTS WHICH RESULT IN QUANTIFIABLE WASTE DIVERSION (WASTE KEPT OUT OF THE MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE STREAM). NO MORE THAN ONE GRANT PER BUSINESS (OR BUSINESS LOCATION) PER CALANDER YEAR OR FOR ONE 12-MONTH PERIOD, WILL BE GIVEN. PRIORITY IS GIVEN TO BUSINESSES THAT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A BESFP GRANT AT ANY TIME IN THE PAST.
