In honor of the occasion, we’re also excited to share another big milestone: the expansion of our Minneapolis office! The new space features three additional conference rooms, larger work areas, an expanded kitchen, and a dedicated production zone.

We’re not joking—Zan turns 25 today! 🥳 April 1 marks our anniversary (and our founder Charleen’s birthday), and this year we’re celebrating 25 years engaging communities.

@ACECMN Pull up a chair, share a story or two, grab a local s’mores kit from North Mallow—along with drink cozies and cards to round out your own campfire setup—and make s’more memories with us! Engagement doesn’t have to be scary. With the right partner, it isn’t.

@ACECMN We’re gathering around the campfire to share stories and talk honestly about engagement challenges that can sometimes feel a little “scary”—and how Zan’s 25 years of expertise helps make the process clearer and far less daunting.
