We’ve officially grown from Minneapolis to Minnesota and the name now reflects who we really are. This community was never meant to be just one city. It’s about all of us. North, south, metro, small towns, and everywhere in between. Because that’s the Minnesota way: 🤍 We stick together. 🎉 We show up for each other. 🤝 And when something good is happening… we invite others to the party. (Hint. Hint. Who have YOU invited today?) Same heart. Bigger table. Welcome to the Minnesota crew.
