The President’s Cabinet is a volunteer group of community leaders with a passion for private and independent education. The purpose of the Cabinet is to connect advocates and ambassadors to the mission of MINNDEPENDENT, which connects and strengthens Minnesota’s independent schools through exceptional training, resources, and advocacy so they can be student-centered and mission-driven. The Cabinet meets 2 times per year to discuss relevant and important topics in education and is open to people passionate about the ecosystem of independent and private education.
