2018 Panelists

At the 2018 Community Connections Conference we are proud to welcome four outstanding local women in leadership from 9:15 a.m. – 10:15 a.m. for the panel discussion Envisioning Change and Leadership, an interactive conversation on equity and transformative leadership. Each panelist brings a wealth of experience in organizing to create change in their respective fields. Read about workshops and see the schedule on the Community Connections Conference Programming webpage.

Meet the Panelists

Andrea Jenkins – Minneapolis City Council Vice President

Andrea is a City Council member, writer, performance artist, poet, and transgender activist. She is the first African American openly trans woman to be elected to office in the United States. Andrea has experience working in community development in North Minneapolis, and in delivering social services in South Minneapolis.

Jennifer Srey – #ReleaseMN8 Campaign

Jennifer, along with members of the Cambodian and Asian American Minnesotan communities, led efforts against the wrongful detention of eight Cambodian Minnesotans by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The detainees were facing deportation to a country that many of them have never set foot in. This situation, despite the fact they have families, jobs and deep ties to their community, is because of crimes that they committed in the past – crimes they have already paid their legal debt for.

Patina Park – Executive Director, Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center

Patina leads the Minnesota Indian Women's Resource Center, a 30-year-old nonprofit dedicated to providing culturally-appropriate holistic programming to heal, preserve and strengthen Native American women and their families. Patina has enjoyed working throughout Indian Country and with state and county government agencies nationwide, training on topics including Federal Indian Law, working with Native Communities, historical trauma, and poverty and the impact on families.

 Terri Banaszewski – Vice President Business Development, Sunrise Banks

Terri is responsible for growing Sunrise Banks’ business, retail and residential mortgage loan and deposit portfolios through business development activities, involvement in community events and neighborhood outreach. She also builds and enhances relationships with potential and existing clients and bank partners.
