Place: 100 Washington Avenue South, Washington Square Room, 4th Floor, Minneapolis, MN

Agenda: Jeffrey Wright of Corporate Finance Associates will present details from two business sales and meeting participants will submit their guess as to the sale price of each business.  Gift cards will be awarded to the attendees who submit the guess closest to the actual sale price.

Remember that in addition to the valuation contest, there will also be an ugly sweater contest.  Pull out the tinsel and reindeer antlers and see if your look can win you the prize!

The more the merrier!  Please use the flyer that was sent to members as a tool to invite colleagues to our most popular event!

Notes from the October 17th Meeting:  

  • Welcome Michael Bredahl and Joah Franzoy!  These two new members’ applications were approved by vote at our October meeting.  We are happy to have both of them join us!  
  • Our October meeting featured a guided discussion on various topics relating to the business valuation industry.  It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about the practices and perspectives of colleagues and be introduced to some valuation resources.  We are always interested in gathering topics for future discussions or presentations.  Please submit any recommended topics to Natalie or Guy.  Contact information is below.
