Events
LBA events bring our business owners, neighbors, and partners together to connect, collaborate, and celebrate all that makes Longfellow thrive. From casual meetups and hands-on workshops to seasonal festivals and community forums, there’s always something happening.
Whether you're here to learn, network, or just have fun, we’d love to see you at our next event.
Minnesota Paid Leave Workshop
Most business owners aren’t ignoring this on purpose. They’re overwhelmed, busy, understaffed, and trying to keep operations moving while policies continue to roll out.
But waiting too long to understand your responsibilities could create bigger problems later.
That’s why LBA is hosting a practical conversation for employers on June 17th led by HR professional Gina Lemon.
We’ll cover:
• employer responsibilities
• compliance questions
• staffing concerns
• operational impacts
• possible grant funding for temporary staffing coverage
Attendees will also be provided with a free 1-on-1 session token with HR professional Gina Lemon.
Because small businesses deserve real guidance, not confusing policy language.
Happy Hour!
Business ownership is weird.
One minute you're celebrating a win. The next you're Googling something you definitely thought you already knew.
Instead of doing it alone, come hang out with other people who get it.
Join the Longfellow Business Association for Happy Hour on June 30 from 5-6 PM at The Howe. Grab a drink, make a few connections, and remind yourself that every business owner is pretty much figuring it out as they go.
See you there.
