I have been thinking a lot lately about the collaborative business environment we have here in Minneapolis/St. Paul and wanted to reach out to my network and beyond to find the 25 Most Connected Twin Cities Business Professionals. I was inspired to make this list after reading about the 2010 Entrepreneurs of the Year in Twin Cities Business.
- Do you know someone who is an absolute must to know in the Twin Cities?
- Who do you know that is constantly open to connecting, helping and developing relationships in our business community?
- Who do you look to as a leader for mentor ship and advice?
I am looking for YOUR nominations for who you think are the most well connected people in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Please share the name of the person you would like to nominate and your reason for why they should be included in this list in the comments section below.
I am hoping that you will nominate people from all walks of life, including business movers and shakers, volunteers, non-profit leaders, small business owners or anyone else that you think deserves to be included in this list.
I’m looking forward to putting together the list and connecting with each and every person that contributes to this list, as well as those that are nominated.
Please add your nomination in the blog comments, thank you!
