The Mind, Body, and Soul Convenings... started as a series of virtual work sessions hosted by the Chief Equity Officer, connecting key leaders to discuss priority issues with Governor Walz, Lieutenant Governor Flanagan, and commissioners and leaders of key state agencies. Through the planning and implementation, the convenings have been an important way for the Office of the Governor to engage state agencies and leaders.
Since April 2022, each Mind, Body, and Soul Convening includes presentations on research, programs, and key policy items. Community members have found the proposals and information to be comprehensive of important priorities covering topics interconnected to one another, including education (birth to adult education), business and workforce development, public safety, homeownership and affordable housing, children and families, and health.
Each virtual session includes rounds of facilitated small-group discussion where leaders – including Governor Walz, Lieutenant Governor Flanagan, and commissioners – participate as listeners. The feedback received helps shape budget proposals and policies focused on addressing disparate outcomes or innovation policy ideas in our state.
