2016 Silent Auction Extraordinaire
Celebrate the accomplishments of the Charitable Foundation at its Seventeenth Annual Luncheon. This year’s program will highlight the Foundation’s support of Right Track and the Leadership Saint Paul program, currently in its 36th year and boasting nearly 2,000 alumni, as well as continuing the tradition of holding the Silent Auction Extraordinaire.
Additionally, at the luncheon we will present two community leadership awards (H.E.R.B.I.E. awards) to recognize and honor an individual and a company for demonstrating exemplary dedication to the community through significant public service. Sue Haigh, President and CEO, Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity, and Saint Paul College are the recipients of the 2016 H.E.R.B.I.E award.
The annual luncheon and auction is an important fundraiser for the Charitable Foundation. Your attendance will show your support for community leadership while helping the Foundation fulfill its mission to create resources to invest in our region’s vitality by developing and engaging a talented work force.
About St. Paul Area Chamber Foundation
The Foundation:
Our mission is to make targeted investments to develop and support engaged leaders who enhance a vibrant East Metro business community.
The Foundation grows leaders and communities by bringing business resources and community opportunities together. We advocate the need for leadership in helping our business community meet workforce challenges.
We provide the following to our members and the St. Paul/East Metro community:
• Leadership programs such as Leadership St. Paul and the DEI Collaborative to educate members on the issues facing our community
• Committed volunteers
• Fundraising initiatives to address the most pressing issues surrounding workforce development and education
The Foundation supports its leadership mission through two flagship programs: Leadership St. Paul (LSP) & the DEI Collaborative. Approximately 2,500 participants have completed LSP over the last 44 years, learning about the issues and trends facing our community. Today, many LSP graduates are serving in leadership roles within local community organizations, corporations and non-profit boards.
Finding a home at the Foundation in 2021 after years at The Wilder Foundation, the DEI Collaborative transforms employer organizations to be more diverse, equitable, and inclusive by facilitating deep learning with senior leaders. We support executives in deepening their personal commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and leveraging that commitment to lead meaningful change.
