SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting - July 2024 - Governor Tim Walz
DESCRIPTION:EVENT INFORMATION \nThe Minnesota Women’s Economic Roundtable is thrilled to host Governor Tim Walz for our upcoming luncheon on July 10th. This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the Governor about his vision for the state and his hope for Minnesota’s future and beyond. \nGovernor Walz will also engage with the audience through a Q&A session\, making this an interactive and informative event. Don’t miss this chance to participate in an insightful discussion. We encourage all members to attend the live event. \n*Please note: There is always a chance that the Governor might have to cancel at the very last minute. If that happens\, we’ll enjoy lunch and networking\, and we trust that our members will understand that state’s business is always a priority. \nSPEAKER INFORMATION \n\n\n\nTim Walz is Minnesota’s 41st Governor. He was first elected Governor in 2018 and won re-election in 2022. Accomplishments from his time as Governor include providing universal free school meals for students\, protecting reproductive freedom\, strengthening voting rights\, laying the groundwork to get Minnesota to 100% clean electricity by 2040\, cutting taxes for the middle class\, and expanding paid leave for Minnesota workers. Throughout his time as Governor\, Tim has prioritized making Minnesota the best state in the country to raise a family. \nBorn in a small town in rural Nebraska\, Tim’s parents instilled in him the values of public service\, generosity toward your neighbors\, and working for the common good that guide his commitment to Minnesota today. After high school graduation\, Tim enlisted in the Army National Guard. He attended Chadron State College and graduated with a social science degree in 1989. Tim spent a year teaching abroad before returning home to serve full time in the Army National Guard and eventually accepting a high school teaching and coaching position. \nWhile teaching\, Tim met his future wife\, Gwen Whipple\, who taught at the same school. They moved to Mankato in 1996\, where they worked at Mankato West High School. In addition to teaching social studies\, Tim helped coach the Mankato West football team that won the school’s first state championship. After 24 years in the Army National Guard\, Command Sergeant Major Walz retired from the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion in 2005. Tim won his first election to the United States House of Representatives in 2006 and was re-elected for another five terms serving Minnesota’s First Congressional District in Southern Minnesota. \nRECORDED SESSION \nIf you missed the in-person session\, we invite you to review the recorded session below. \n\nhttps://mwer.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Zoom-2024-07.mp4
