All around Minnesota, communities are redefining what it means to have a healthy economy and an engaged workforce. Tom Friedman has been traveling to towns in Minnesota and around the country to wonder why some are prospering, while others are losing population and jobs.

Tom Friedman’s presentation is the culmination of an 18-month event series, traveling around the state to explore how older workers could be part of the solution to our state’s workforce shortages as Baby Boomers retire.

Join us for the series conclusion on September 23rd to hear best practices and ideas for reviving towns in Minnesota.

Featuring:

● New York Times columnist Tom Friedman

● Courageous Conversations series moderator Gary Eichten

● Panelists from Southwest Minnesota, the Iron Range, and the Twin Cities
