As community leaders, and practitioners, you play a critical role in supporting individuals seeking fresh opportunities. Join us for a powerful statewide Mind, Body, and Soul Convening…, where we are apart of planning, decision making and voice of the community.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will provide an overview of Minnesota’s new Air Toxics and Cumulative Impacts rulemaking processes. Come learn about where MPCA is at in the rulemaking processes and share your ideas to help inform the shaping of these rules.
Mind, Body, and Soul Convenings are designed to center community voice, offer a space to reflect, connect, and envision a future rooted in equity and opportunity for all.
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.
