This year Community Futures St. Paul - Smoky Lake Region is hosting the Power UP North Conference on October 7/8^th. This conference is designed for businesses, organizations, and individuals who are part of our economic development community.

Although the conference is designed primarily around the needs of small businesses and entrepreneurship, many of the speakers and presenters at this year’s conference will be sharing great information that will also be helpful to groups and organizations, and to the leaders and volunteers that keep everything going.

The impacts of today’s economy, leadership, team building, retaining staff (or volunteers), learning and creating a positive culture are all things that happen in both our work and volunteer environments. We all want to be around people who know how to support us, and in a place where we can share our skills to the best advantage of getting the work done.

We invite you to take advantage of this learning and networking opportunity while this event is taking place right here in St. Paul. 

Hope to see you in October!
