Meet the Fed: A Member Advocacy Experience

Join the Sauk Centre Area Chamber for a members-only trip to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis - an exclusive opportunity to learn, connect, and make sure the voices of our local businesses are heard.

During our visit, we’ll take a guided, 75-minute walking tour exploring how the Federal Reserve influences interest rates, employment, price stability, banking, and the overall health of our economy. We’ll follow the journey of a dollar, watch automated robots move millions in currency, see what $4.6 million in cash looks like, and even sit on a chair made with $1.7 million in shredded money. 

More importantly, this visit gives our members a seat at the table. Following the tour, we’ll participate in an economic discussion along with a business roundtable with the second in command from the Minneapolis Fed. They want to hear directly from businesses across our area about current conditions, emerging trends, and the challenges and opportunities affecting our local economy. Participants will receive a brief survey in advance so we can bring meaningful, real-world information from the Sauk Centre area into the conversation.

Creating connections like these is an important part of the Chamber’s advocacy work. This is your opportunity to share your perspective, help inform the Federal Reserve’s understanding of our regional economy, and connect with fellow Chamber members along the way.

Following our visit, we’ll enjoy lunch together at Red Rabbit in Minneapolis.
