Minnesota Sports and Events (MNSE) is announcing an amazing new membership engagement opportunity that combines two Minnesotan passions – supporting our great state and region and accomplishing this through the universal unifier - SPORTS!
We have all seen the positive economic, well-being, and social impact that events like the Super Bowl, NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Ryder Cup have had on our community! What isn’t always apparent is the hard work and dedication it takes to secure these coveted events and the effort and determination required to successfully host them. As MNSE grows and brings more events to Minnesota, we are recruiting a team of committed and diverse leaders to serve as stakeholders – people who want to collaborate, network, advise, and champion our efforts - and ultimately, celebrate the victories we achieve together!
The MNSE Champions Council launched in December of 2022, and we are looking for dedicated and passionate individuals who understand the positive impact that hosting large-scale events, particularly sports, can have on a community to serve as our FOUNDING MEMBERS!
