Legislative Breakfast Series

TwinWest’s Legislative Breakfast series is Minnesota’s premier legislative and political forum. Each breakfast connects compelling, well-known speakers and local legislators with more than 100 business leaders from across the Twin Cities. This ten-month breakfast program, held one Friday a month from 7:30 – 9:00 a.m., September through June, offers members a local format to hear the latest political and legislative information from top leaders across the state of Minnesota.
