The MPPOA Legislative Conference
February 28-29, 2020 in St. Cloud, Minnesota
As the new Executive Director of the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association, I am excited for the 2020 Legislative Conference. I assumed my role in June of 2019 and since then the team at the MPPOA has worked vigorously to make many improvements to benefit our organization. St. Cloud has rolled out the red carpet for us and this year’s conference will be fun and exciting while learning about the 2020 legislative priorities and issues. We look forward to seeing you there!
