Marcia Bahr has been a resident of the Mankato Area since the early 1990s. With a rich background in marketing and communication, her journey has been marked by leadership roles and community involvement. For over a decade, Marcia lent her expertise to Midwest Wireless, culminating in her role as Vice President of Marketing and Communication. In 2008, she embarked on a new chapter as Director of Marketing and Communication at the Mankato Clinic. She also serves as the president of the Mankato Clinic Foundation.

Marcia’s dedication to the Mankato community extends beyond her professional life. As a founding board member of Mankato Youth Place, she helped create a nurturing environment where local youth can reach their full potential. She also devoted time to the Mankato Salvation Army advisory board, the South Central College Foundation board, and the Junior Achievement board.
Marcia earned her bachelor’s degree from Bemidji State University and still proudly cheers on Beaver hockey.

Beyond her professional and community endeavors, Marcia finds joy in the natural beauty of northern Minnesota, where she and her husband, Brett, have a cabin. Hiking, fishing, gardening, and reading are among her favorite pastimes. Marcia and Brett are the proud parents of two grown children who currently reside out of state. Marcia holds the hope that someday, their children will find their way back to the Mankato area.

Marcia was appointed to the Mankato Area Foundation Board of Directors in 2023.
