Description: Lead agencies are driving Minnesota's Employment First movement—and the momentum is growing.

Hear about innovative approaches, lessons learned, early successes, and their plans as they build on this work and continue moving Employment First forward across their communities. Whether you're a provider, case manager, advocate, or community partner, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of why lead agency leadership is so important to creating sustainable employment systems and improving outcomes across Minnesota.
