AREAA EATS MAY - Policy Edition: Meet the Leaders!

Minnesota’s AANHPI communities are shaping the future of housing, entrepreneurship, and public policy across the state — and this month’s AREAA Eats brings that conversation directly to the table.

Join AREAA Twin Cities for a special outdoor networking lunch and policy discussion featuring influential leaders helping shape the future of economic development, housing, and community representation in Minnesota.

We’ll begin with lunch and networking outside with featured local food vendor Kumaineats, a beloved Filipino food truck founded by community advocate and entrepreneur Josie DelaCruz Schuette. Guests will have the opportunity to connect casually before transitioning indoors to Brooklyn Park City Hall for a moderated leadership conversation.
