ABOUT: Please join the Mankato Area Foundation and regional partners for Welcoming Communities: Regional Insights for Connection and Growth—a series of gatherings supporting the Inclusive and Healthy Community pillar of the Transforming Tomorrow Together 2040 initiative.
These sessions build on the Greater Mankato Inclusivity Study and ongoing community efforts to create a region where everyone feels welcome, respected, and connected. Together, we’ll explore key themes that emerged from the Study—safety, opportunity, and inclusion & respect—while sharing updates and resources that strengthen inclusivity across Greater Mankato.
These gatherings are for those who want to learn from peers, share best practices, and strengthen connections that advance inclusivity. Whether you represent a business, nonprofit, school, or local government, or simply play an active role in shaping our community, please join us!
