Title:

Ramsey EDA Business Networking Breakfast Event Update

Background:

Staff would like to provide an update of the 2012 Ramsey EDA Business Networking Breakfast Event.

Observations:

Staff is beginning planning/coordination of the 2012 Ramsey EDA Business Networking Breakfast Event.  Below are updates on individual tasks:
  • Event Date: Staff is proposing Thursday November 29
  • Location: Ramsey Municipal Center, Alexander Ramsey Room
  • Keynote SpeakerStaff has developed a preliminary list of options (see attached).  Staff would like input/direction of the EDA to move further.  One important item to discuss is the budget as it will have a direct effect on who will be available for keynote speaker.  NOTE: in 2011 the EDA did not pay for the keynote speaker; and, funding was not allocated in the 2012 EDA budget as a keynote speaker.  Staff recommends the EDA consider local/regional business leaders as options.  For example, Allina Medical Clinic.
  • Food Services: Wells catering served breakfast in 2012.  Staff will be reviewing last years budget and bring back options to the EDA at the August meeting.
  • Marketing: After a keynote speaker is secured, staff will develop a flyer for distribution.  This will likely take place in early September.

Funding Source:

EDA Business Unit, Account: 9230.6249

Staff Recommendation:

This is an update, NA

EDA Action:
