2010 Grand View Summit - Preserve the Programs, GET ENGAGED
April 29, 2010, National Sports Center, 1700 105th Av. NE, Blaine, MN 55449
What is Grand View Summit?
Sponsored by the Minnesota Precision Manufacturing Association, the Grand View Summit is a unique opportunity to bring together educators and business people for one purpose: to get a "grand view" of technical education and workforce development in Minnesota. The summit was created to compliment the bi-ennial Grand View Conference. It is designed to help continue the relationship formed at the Grand View Conference, and keep the momentum flowing between each conference.
"Preserve the Programs. GET ENGAGED" is the theme for the 2010 Summit and will focus on encouraging industry to support education, and to inspire education to enlist the help of industry in order to keep students interested in manufacturing careers
