(Yes, the LRI, Head Ref, and FTA at North Star all had first names of Chris.)

In fact, going further, at North Star, the majority of inspectors and refs were from out of state. At 10K, most of the refs were from MN and I do not know about inspectors (Jeff can probably mention if he sees this thread).

In addition, in asking Mark Lawrence about this during the weekend, he said it was a ways off in MN because creating a 501 c3 is not something that is on the radar.

Thanks! A few more from nearby than I thought, but still probably not enough and it looks like there are other barriers as well.

The FTA at 10k Lakes was Mark Koors from IN.
