Perry Aasness is a Vice President Legislative Affairs at Compeer Financial. He possess expertise in agriculture, farms, public policy, legislative relations, strategic planning and 19 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I've been acquainted with Perry in a number of capacities over a number of years. I've found him to be talented, energetic, intelligent, and results-oriented. It's not easy serving in an administrative capacity for either state or federal government. You have a lot of people who think they have a claim on your time and loyalty. That can include taxpayers, clients (or constituents of the agency), media, legislators, not to mention your direct line of reporting in the government agency. Perry managed the tugs and pulls of that situation very effectively. I usually worked with him in my capacity as a representative of Minnesota farmers, sort of an advocacy/constituent relationship. Perry always was very responsive, usually very helpful, and always diplomatic (especially in instances when other pressures prevented him from being helpful). One of the reasons why I think Perry was successful was because of his personal sense of integrity and his commitment to the vision of the organization, whether it was USDA, Minnesota Department of Ag, or office of an elected official. That commitment kept him steady and moving forward, even when navigating through politically stormy waters. I would very highly recommend Perry." and "Having worked on Capitol Hill and at the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, Perry brings to the table a unique blend of congressional, administrative and management experience. In addition, he has been part of a family farm operation near Fergus Falls that grows corn, soybeans and wheat since 1984. Perry is respected throughout Minnesota as someone who understands farm policy issues, knows how to manage a large government agency and is focused on customer service. He works well with elected officials from both parties and is supportive and understanding of the Administration’s goals."

Listed skills include Agriculture, Farms, Public Policy, Legislative Relations, and 20 others.
