Minnesota women play an ever more prominent role in business, but making critical connections across sectors can sometimes be difficult. In June, the Twin Cities is officially launching a local chapter of Ellevate to expand those intersections.
The global networking group for professional women is dues-based, with several levels of membership. “We could use a chapter here,” says attorney Jennie Clarke, a shareholder at Henson Efron who is one of the promoters of the new chapter. “About year ago we started inviting people to have conversations to see if we wanted to dive in and get something going.”
