The Leadership Saint Paul Class of 2015 participated in Government Day yesterday. This year’s theme focused on the use of transportation, a key issue in this year’s legislative session. LSP participants examined the roles different levels of government play in addressing public policy issues in Minnesota. The morning began with a values exercise led by Damon Shoholm from the Amherst Wilder Foundation followed by Sean Kershaw with the Citizens League who encouraged the leaders to actively participate in public policy and that each person can make a difference.
Other highlights from the day were an overview of the City from Mayor Coleman who discussed the importance of partnerships with the business community and strong relationship the city has with the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce.
Participants toured City Hall and learned of the rich history of the building. Thank you Senator Tom Bakk and Representative Tim Kelly for taking time out of your day to share your insights on current priorities this legislative session.
Other highlights from the day included presentations from Jon Commers with the Metropolitan Council and Charles Zelle, Minnesota Transportation Commissioner.
Participants we engaged in a political overview panel with Doug Beldon, Political Reporter, from the Pioneer Press and Elizabeth Emerson, Director of Government Relations, for Goff Public.
Leadership Saint Paul would not be possible without the time and commitment from past participants and volunteers. Thank you Bob Butterbrodt, Government Relations Outreach Director with Wells Fargo for Chairing Government Day!
