WHAT is REINVENTING MINNESOTA?


 

community pride contest

 

We're looking forward to Community Pride 2010!

 

It is a way to think and act, to turn the current economic crisis into an opportunity that encourages people to connect and share good ideas and resources to move us into a thriving future for all. It builds on Minnesota’s history of inventiveness, innovation and compassion to recognize the goodwill and good actions that communities, neighborhoods and organizations across our state are doing right now to help one another.


We can turn anxiety and fear into a catalyst for perseverance, leadership, and sustainability that will carry us well beyond the next generation.


NO SHORTAGE OF RESOURCES BUT CONNECTING & COORDINATION NEEDED


Despite the economic woes we face, Minnesota has no shortage of resources and organizations that can help. They are available locally, regionally, statewide, and nationally, but they tend to be fragmented. The trick is to find the right resource at the right time for the challenges and opportunities you face. 


That’s why the Reinventing Minnesota initiative is pulling together an online resource gateway and a community connecting and recognition process that can help you sort thru and apply the wide range of ideas and assistance available.
