B
Great
hi,
thank
you
Michael,
my
name
is
Erica
and
I
am
a
neighborhood
support
specialist
with
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
I'm.
Also
one
of
the
co
coordinators
for
the
community
connections
conference
this
year
at
NCR.
We
connect
the
community
with
the
city
and
the
city
with
the
community
and
at
our
conference
this
year,
we're
also
going
to
be
partnering
with
the
Minneapolis
green
zones
to
host
the
green
zone.
Summit.
C
Thank
you,
neighborhood
support
specialist,
not
on
the
NCR
or
the
community
connections
conference.
C
A
A
For
both
Erica
and
Megan
help
us
understand
our
listeners
understand
who
this
is
their
first
time.
Listening
to
you,
what
is
the
Community
Collections
conference?
What
does
that
do
and
what
the
green
zone
Summit?
Can
you
tell
us
what
they
are
so
that
we
have
a
better
understanding
what
it
is.
B
Absolutely
the
community
connections
conference
is
an
annual
event
hosted
by
our
department,
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
from
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
This
is
actually
our
10th
year.
So
we're
pretty
proud
of
that.
The
community
connections
conference
brings
together
residents
of
Minneapolis
with
Community
groups,
neighborhoods
and
local
government.
A
Megan
and
Erica,
why
is
the
city
holding
a
conference
in
a
Summit
help
us
understand
why
Minneapolis.
B
So
one
of
the
biggest
reasons
we
are
hosting
this
conference
is
to
really
bring
together
community
members
and
local
government
and
also
community-based
organizations.
So
community
members,
City
departments
and
decision
makers
can
connect
to
build
relationships.
We
also
want
residents
to
learn
about
prog
programs
and
policies
that
affect
them
and
so
that
all
communities
can
feel
welcome
and
get
involved
in
local
decision
making
this
year.
Our
theme
is
Minneapolis
in
motion
and
the
theme
really
welcomes
all
communities
to
explore
the
ways
Minneapolis
is
growing
and
moving
and
changing.
C
C
A

can
you
tell
us
about?

free
that
there's

We
would
love
you
to
pre-register.

A
Erica
I'm
excited
as
well
I
mean
again
I'm
super
excited.
I
can't
wait.
What
kind
of
things
can't
folks
volunteer
to
do
for
the
conference
this
year,
I'm
a
quote
on
the
volunteer,
and
you
know
the
numbers
of
people
who
would
just
say:
hey
I,
want
to
participate
young
people
and
so
forth.
What
kind
of
things
can
people
volunteer
to
do
for
the
conference.
B
There
are
several
options
and
several
different
shifts.
The
shifts
for
each
volunteer
role
is
one
hour
and
45
minutes
long,
which
gives
volunteers
plenty
of
options
to
also
enjoy
the
conference.
The
volunteer
roles
include
volunteer
leader,
registration,
greeters
team,
lead
assistants
and
lunch
assistants,
and,
if
you're
interested
in
volunteering
aside
from
figuring
it
out
or
signing
up
at
registration,
you
can
contact
Michael
yang.
C
A
B
