We track trends and measure progress on quality-of-life measures that are chosen and developed by community advisors. And we help analyze and interpret data so policymakers and nonprofit\, business\, and community leaders can make informed decisions to benefit their communities. \n\n\n\nMinnesota Compass is a project of Wilder Research. \n\n\n\nSouthwest Initiative Foundation is proud to sponsor this event.
