Notes from the December 17th Chapter Business Meeting:
The Annual Valuation Contest 2020 Edition is in the books! We are so grateful to Jeff Wright of Corporate Finance Associates for hosting yet another fantastic contest for us. Congratulations to our winners: Emma Niemela, Joshua Johnson, Joe Kenyon, and Brian Adamek. Emma’s close guess on the first sale presented in the contest won her the Grand Champion Twin Cities Valuation Contest trophy, which will grace her desk until the next contest.
In addition to the Valuation Contest, there were also a few contestants in the Ugly Sweater Contest. Josh Johnson once again won the prize with his festive suit! Thank you to all who participated!
