In 1990, new Americans were just 2.6% of Minnesota’s population. Thirty years later, that number grew to 8.5%. These percentages are even higher in parts of Greater Minnesota. New Americans play an outsized role in creating a vibrant and prosperous Minnesota, which is why it’s critical that leaders in government, business, and philanthropy understand and respond to their unique contributions and needs.

Last week we learned from distinguished speakers who explained what you need to know about new Americans in Minnesota: who they are, what they are contributing, and what they need to keep calling Minnesota home.
