My name is Laurie Erickson and I am a new business owner in Como Park. I am interested in forming a Como Park business association. I have experience serving on several non-profit Boards and Booster clubs. I have a masters degree from the University of Minnesota in Family Education. I believe that there is a correlation between building community bonds and strong families. I have noticed that there is a lot of community spirit and support since moving my business into the Como Park neighborhood. I feel I can bring ideas and energy to the community council.
