Board & Executive Staff

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.

To contact our Board of Directors with ideas or questions please email them at: mbcboard@mankatoballet.org.  If you are interested in learning more about board or would like to consider joining us please fill out an application and email it to: mbcboard@mankatoballet.org.
