Public Policy Committee
The Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce is very active in local and state government. This committee exists for those members who are interested in the legislative, transportation and business advocacy issues that affect Eden Prairie and the surrounding areas. They discuss these issues and then help communicate positions to local metro and state officials. They also meet with and influence the people who are forming current policy and future legislation.
This committee meets on the 1st Thursday of each month at 7:30 AM at the Chamber Office.
If you are interested in joining this committee or getting more information, please contact Chamber President Pat MulQueeny at (952) 944-2830.

mymn.org
The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce operates mymn.org, an ambitious, multi-year public engagement and issue advocacy effort to fundamentally change Minnesota’s public policy environment. Their research has shown that most Minnesotans and business leaders agree on the issues, they just don’t know it. We all talk a different language, and tend to speak up when the partisan volume is the highest.
www.mymn.org offers a new approach better suited for the new economic and political climate. With a growing frustration of political partisanship and a sense that Minnesota is losing its edge, mymn.org will unite Minnesotans around a brand to build a better more competitive Minnesota.
Help us build a united, positive, forward looking vision for Minnesota:
Join the conversation and share your views! Submit photos, videos and comments. You can also put the mymn.org link on their web or intranet sites.
This is just the first tool in many that will begin to change the policy debate in Minnesota. The Minnesota Chamber invites your support, feedback, suggestions and participation. mymn.org will attract support by engaging Minnesotans in something they care deeply about, Minnesota and its future. We can only be successful in partnership with local chambers across the state.
State of the City Update 2022
The Chamber recently held its State of the City luncheon where members and local officials were treated to presentations and updates from the city of Eden Prairie, Eden Prairie Schools and the Chamber/businesses. Key takeaways – our three entities continue to coordinate and work together to make Eden Prairie a great place to work, start a business, raise a family and enjoy amenities in our city. Watch the recording of the event here.
