Our members have various reasons for joining the Chamber, but there’s no denying that the Chamber delivers real value to businesses across the state. #MyWhy is a look at the different reasons business leaders support the Minnesota Chamber.
Starting the week off right: with a Leaders Lab profile featuring Alexander Knox of Miller Manufacturing! What's a fun fact about Alexander? "[I'm a] backpacking enthusiast. Spent seven days in Denali national park backpacking, camping and packrafting though the Alaskan backcountry. I'm always in search of the next adventure." https://lnkd.in/gEsZFsYX
From Trucks, Parts, Service: Rihm Family Companies tackles alternative powertrains and sustainability at customer event https://lnkd.in/gGSrdZJj "The event kicked off with comments from Minnesota Chamber of Commerce’s Patrick Deal, who told of three businesses within the state that have started down their sustainability journey and are seeing benefits. Deal says sustainability has unquestionable environmental and societal benefits, but investing in it shouldn’t be solely done for marketing reasons. When executed well, he says sustainable solutions also can drive bottom-line success. He says sustainability can drive efficiency, increase access to capital and reduce risk in the future."

1wFantastic! Its interesting how virtual networking is augmenting the traditional methods like this. If I can connect with 25,000 people in an hour virtually in a meaningful way, then follow up on the most relevant connections, it would take me nearly 18 days to do the same in a very large room spending 1 minute with each person. AI is making this possible. Incredible!
