Community Convenings for Central Minnesota 

Some regional problems are bigger than any one organization, and progress starts with getting the right people in the same room. CPRCE organizes meetings and summits where employers, nonprofits, local governments, and university experts work on a shared question. CPRCE frames the question, prepares a briefing for research participants, recruits speakers from campus and the community, facilitates the discussion, and reports what was learned. Past convenings on housing drew more than 100 participants, and every event leaves partners with a written record they can act on.
