Be The Change MN Community Leaders

The Be The Change MN Golf Tournament forges new connections and conversations between Twin Cities leaders from corporations, to community organizations, with city officials and neighbors. Our Community Leaders are a diverse group of folks who wish to share their perspective about what their community needs or how they can contribute to actively “be the change” in their daily life.
