A lot has changed since our founding in 2004. Through it all, our communities have remained strong because of our collective care, ingenuity, and unrelenting drive for transformative change. To celebrate 20 years of working together, we’re hosting four events throughout 2025. At each gathering, we will look back to look ahead, and envision a brighter, more powerful future for us all.
We’re starting off with our longest-running program: The Boards & Commissions Leadership Institute (BCLI)! Mark your calendar for our virtual event, Building Power through Bold Leadership, on March 27, 10 am – 12 pm on Zoom.
For 12 years, BCLI has been helping community leaders build the skills and networks they need to create big policy change, from city-wide paid sick time to fighting housing discrimination. With fascism on the rise, this work is more important than ever. We must continue to work together to identify, train and support leaders who are reflective of and responsive to our communities. Together, we are powerful!
Hear from guest speakers on the scope and impact of BCLI. You’ll learn how it will continue to shape how decisions are made throughout Minnesota—and walk away with the tools and relationships we need to navigate these times. Registration opens Feb. 27. Stay tuned for more details!
All are welcome! This isn’t just for Twin Cities folks; BCLI is building bridges across Minnesota. Mark your calendar and join us—we can’t wait to see you there!
