In 2007, Vikings’ ownership reached out to a broad cross section of Minnesota business and community leaders and recruited them to serve on the Vikings’ Board of Advisors. Since that time, the Vikings organization has been fortunate to receive advice and counsel on its top business issues from this diverse, prominent and CEO-level group of leaders.
The Minnesota Vikings Board of Advisors meets regularly to discuss and provide feedback on Vikings’ core issues including the team’s sales and branding initiatives, stadium development project and extensive community relations programs. The Board of Advisors helps keep the Vikings organization connected and focused on the key issues and dynamics facing Minnesota and our community.
