<br />CASE # 2 <br /> <br />WINTER BUSINESS NETWORK MEETING <br />By: Sean Sullivan, Economic Development Coordinator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The EDA has hosted Business Network Meetings for the past few years. Staff was directed to <br />select a speaker and to schedule a meeting for February or March of 2007. The past network <br />meeting was held in the morning, and included a catered breakfast. The last meeting held at <br />Connexus was very successful and the turn-out was excellent. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Staff has contacted Anoka County Partners to assist in locating a speaker and to help market this <br />meeting to the business community. At past meetings we have served food and this would .be <br />al'propriate for future meetings. Anoka County Partners has verbally committed to participate <br />-financially in this meeting and it should help to obtain a quality speaker. Connexus Energy will <br />be contacted to host this event and Staff will look at other alternatives if Connexus is unable to <br />accommodate. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />The EDA should request Staff to work with Anoka County Partners to secure a speaker and to <br />market this event. <br /> <br />And <br /> <br />The EDAI Anoka County Partners provide a catered breakfast for the Winter Business Network <br />Meeting. <br /> <br />EDA: 11.30.06 <br /> <br />15 <br />
