Overview
We are the Medtronic VSP Retiree Group Minnesota (VSP), working on projects and activities that contribute to our communities and give us a pleasant feeling of satisfaction.


The VSP leadership is committed to developing and presenting to members a variety of volunteer, educational, social, communication and benefit opportunities.  It is a forum for retirees, especially in Minnesota, to stay in touch with each other and the company.  Our tag line is:  Learning - Connecting - Serving.   We strive to adhere to the following Mission Statement.

The VSP is affiliated with Medtronic through the Medtronic Office of Global Inclusion, Diversity and Engagement (GIDE) and its Employee Resource Group (ERG) organization.  In addition, our “Mission in Motion” volunteer activities are encouraged by the Medtronic Community Affairs organization.
