That’s me speaking to the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce at their January 2004 monthly members’ meeting & luncheon. My program titled: “2003: A Look Back; 2004: A Look Forward”. The program recounted some of the City’s accomplishments from 2003 and shared some of our plans for 2004.

One of my priorities since coming to Eden Prairie in 2002 has been to develop a more positive and productive relationship with Eden Prairie’s business community. Among the strategies I’ve employed to try and meet this goal has been to improve the City’s relationship with the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce.
It has not been tough to do that. Not long after I started, the Chamber brought in a new President. His name is Pat MulQueeny. Pat is great guy and he’s doing great work at the Chamber. I talk to Pay frequently about City-Business issues. When he wants information about what we’re doing, we give it to him. And vice-versa.
In the photo below, that’s Pat to the right of me. To the left of me is Kelly Solwei. Kelly is the 2004 Chamber Board Chair.

I’m looking forward to a happy and productive year of working with the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce in 2004.
