Speaking of women, the author notes that Chanhassen is run by mostly women; three of five council members, including Mayor Elise Ryan, are women. Half of the city’s department heads are women, too.

The city is also “figuring out how to welcome new groups” with census data showing that the city’s minority population (16%) has more than doubled in Chanhassen between 2010 and 2020, the magazine said. Still, the city remains less diverse than the state as a whole.

“We all recognize that this area is predominantly white,” Ryan is quoted in the article. “So you have to make that extra effort to make sure everybody feels safe and welcome in the community where they live.”
