We were delighted to welcome U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent to the Economic Club of Minnesota on January 8, 2026, for an engaging and timely conversation that drew more than 325 attendees from across the Twin Cities business and civic community. Secretary Bessent shared thoughtful insights on the state of the U.S. economy and the Treasury Department's priorities, touching on topics such as economic growth, fiscal responsibility, financial market stability, and expanding opportunity for Americans nationwide. In the discussion with moderator Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, he highlighted the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors and reflected on how local and national leadership can work together to strengthen long-term economic resilience. The robust turnout and lively Q&A underscored our members' strong interest in economic policy and leadership, making the event a memorable and energizing gathering that advanced the Club's mission of fostering informed, civil dialogue on issues that matter most to our economy and communities.
