Minnesota members collaborate with the Twin Ports chapter for in-person gatherings and online Brown Bag events.

Minnesota is home to a major international aviation hub at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport, significant maritime operations along the Mississippi River, an extensive rail-freight system, and an innovative public transit network.
