It was great to see so many new and familiar faces at our two-day, in-person CGMC Fall Conference last week. More than 120 city leaders from over 50 Greater Minnesota communities convened November 17-18 at Arrowwood Resort & Conference Center for our annual event. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
