The Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Anoka-Hennepin school district, recently held its 11th-annual Business Panel Day at Connexus Energy in Ramsey. The event was attended by approximately 90 students from Anoka, Andover, Blaine, Champlin Park, Coon Rapids and STEP high schools.

Participating in the career development event was Nathan Olmscheid, Prime’s Director of Business Development. Olmscheid and eight other local business leaders were part of a panel discussion chaired by Anoka Chamber President Pete Turok. Following the panel, the day concluded with three roundtable sessions. These sessions allowed panel members to interact with students interested particular career paths.

Some of the topics touched on during the day included the rise of social media, and an analysis of career fields and job opportunities over the next several years. Prime is a proud member of the Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce, among other chambers, and its employees are frequently asked to share their thoughts on various issues, such as marketing, advertising, technology and public relations.
