Chapter Profile

The Minneapolis/St Paul Chapter encompasses many unique, vibrant, creative and dedicated communities focused on advancing the excellence and innovation of Retail Design...

Our goal is to establish a platform for open dialogue and design thinking between private retailers, agencies, trade organizations and industry consultants. The events and connection points we bring forward with major retail, design and architectural organizations, diverse and cutting-edge art galleries and museums, as well as, broad-thinking higher education institution, will create a lab environment that allows for incubation and realization of exchanged ideas while giving the public an inside look at our industry.

If we embark on this together, we can enrich and diversify design curriculums through connection of locally based, retail professionals with students, educators and their institutions, and uphold the mission of the Retail Design Institute as established by the International Board of Directors with emphasis in education, career building and networking for members.

Please join today to create a better tomorrow...

Chapter President's Message

Happy New Year Minneapolis/St. Paul Retail Design Institute Chapter Members!!

We just had our first 2010 Chapter Board meeting on January 13th and have planned an entire year of exciting events for our members...We are also very focused on growing our membership base this year. We still have some 'fine-tuning' to do on the events, but wanted everyone to know about our first one in April. FAME has graciously offered their cool new downtown space as the venue for our members. More details to follow, but the theme of this event is to bring all our members together (we are at about 40 now) and ask that each of you bring a 'member-wanna-be' friend with you! We'd like to double our membership that night!!! Imagine how much more fun we would have meeting and networking with new people right here in the Twin Cities!!

Here's to a great 2010!

Sharon Lessard
President, MSP/STP Chapter RDI
