2022 Wrapped
In 2022 our Chapter continued to deliver virtual learning and even resumed a few in person events. We feel lucky to be able to see familiar faces and meet a few new ones too!

EdSymposium resumed in-person in South Dakota for 2022. Sandy Beckel was recognized for the Lifetime Achievement Award and Kim Tuzinski received a Star Award.
Volunteering at Feed My Starving Children
Volunteers from our chapter gathered at Feed My Starving Children to pack meals for the people of Honduras.
Tour at the Rafter Apartments
Each year our Chapter chooses a location for an in person tour. This year we visited Rafter Apartments in Northeast, Minneapolis, designed by member firm, Cuningham Group. Our members had the opportunity to tour the building and ask an engineer about the project.
Brews and Social Media
Chapter members and guests gathered at Able Brewery for a discussion on creating an authentic social media presence. Attendees had the opportunity to update their headshots with a photographer and learn about catering their social media profiles to their true personality.
Planning for 2023
In October we gathered for a potluck hosted by member, Ellie Staricka. We gathered around a fire to make plans for 2023. We hope to make this an annual potluck event.
