Board Members & Executive Staff
MBC is run by a volunteer board of directors. This group helps maintain the business aspects and fiscal responsibility of the Mankato Ballet Company. They work to progress our organization while holding to our mission. Board members and executive staff also help oversee granting opportunities for ongoing funding and support of our studio.
