Leadership Institute of Greater Mankato

Leadership Institute of Greater Mankato is a comprehensive leadership training program developed and presented by Greater Mankato Growth, Inc.

A limited number of participants are accepted each year for the nine-month program and a Professional Development Series is offered each year as a continuing education component of the Institute. In addition, the Hap Halligan Leadership Award is presented each year and the Charles Ingman Leadership fund has been established to award scholarships to the program.

Charles Ingman

Charles Ingman Leadership Fund

This fund was formed to fund a scholarship for a Leadership Institute of Greater Mankato applicant who has demonstrated community trusteeship by active involvement in the community, has assumed leadership roles, and Leadership Institute tuition would be a burden to the applicants sponsoring organization. The Leadership Institute Selection Committee is responsible for the selection of the scholarship recipient.

Donations to the fund are tax-deductible. Contributions can be made by sending a check payable to the Mankato Area Foundation, P.O. Box 999, Mankato, MN 56002.

Contact Kate Winkels or call 507.345.4519 for additional information.
