U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Stacy Jo Huser, commander of 20th Air Force, will deliver the keynote address at the Minot Area Chamber EDC annual meeting Monday, March 23. The program begins at 5:30 p.m. in the Regency Event Center.

The annual meeting is a signature event of the Minot Area Chamber EDC, bringing together business and community leaders to reflect on progress and highlight priorities for the year ahead.

Huser leads more than 12,000 airmen responsible for nuclear global strike and weapons sustainment for the U.S. Air Force. She is the first woman to command the historic 20th Air Force, which oversees the nation’s land‒based intercontinental ballistic missile mission. Earlier in her career, she served as commander of the 91st Operations Group at Minot Air Force Base from August of 2015 until June of 2017.

The annual meeting also will look back on 2025 with last year’s Board Chair Ryan Ackerman and envision the year ahead with 2026 Board Chair Jarid Lundeen. The meeting will include presentation of the 2026 Impact Awards for Outstanding Community Impact, Small Business, Individual Leadership and Military Support.
