Project Overview
Partner Organizations: Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame, Minnesota Air National Guard Historical Foundation, Minnesota Aviation History and Education Center, and Northwest Airlines History Centre
AirSpace Minnesota (a coalition of independent aviation and aerospace organizations) worked to develop a formal partnership among organizations with similar missions to engage in long-range, strategic planning for coordinating future projects. AirSpace Minnesota worked with a qualified strategic planning professional to facilitate conversations and formalize the partnership through development of a memorandum of understanding and long-range strategic plan. A strategic plan will provide a framework for coordinating the preservation of Minnesota's aviation and aerospace history, as well as encourage ongoing collaborative activities, such as public programs and events.
