Leadership Council
The Forge North Leadership Council is a group of entrepreneurs, investors, corporate executives, and community leaders that represents the diverse perspectives of the coalition and works to engage all members to establish goals, catalyze ecosystem-wide change, and promote signature projects - always with a focus on founders.
The council isn’t alone. Beyond the council, the Forge North coalition is made up of hundreds of partners working together on projects, in peer groups, and across the community to advance the overall ecosystem. And staff from the GREATER MSP Partnership support the coalition's work toward the Council's goals.
