How We Raise Our Voices Matters

Marilyn Carlson Nelson is one of Minnesota’s most respected business and community leaders.   Chairman and former CEO of Carlson, Nelson has been recognized by Forbes as one of the 100 most powerful women in the world. Her expanse of experience as a global CEO, nonprofit board leader, wife, mother and grandmother, combined with her strong Minnesota values offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of someone U.S. News & World Report named one of “America’s Best Leaders.” Nelson will share her perspectives on leadership and her belief that how we lead - how we raise our voices - has never been more important.  

Special guest speaker: Wayne Brown, director of music and opera, National Endowment for the Arts.
