Farewell Open House for Mark Ritchie

This event is being held in-person and is open to everyone.

Help us thank Global Minnesota President Mark Ritchie for his service in building Minnesota’s global engagement at a farewell Open House from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm on October 3. Stop by over the course of the afternoon for cake, coffee, and conversation with Mark as he plans for his upcoming retirement on October 10.

Throughout his career, Mark has championed Minnesota as one of the world’s most globally minded places, working tirelessly to ensure a warm welcome for people from every corner of the planet. We are especially appreciative of Mark’s leadership through the challenges of the pandemic, transforming program delivery with new digital tools that expanded the organization’s work of connecting Minnesotans to the world, and the world to Minnesota.

Bring your good wishes and favorite Mark stories to share at the Open House.

If you’d like to make a gift in honor of Mark, any contributions received online or at the event will be dedicated to providing stipends for International Fellows at Global Minnesota in 2023.

Special thanks to Sunrise Banks for providing the Open House event venue.
