The Steering Committee 

This Strategic Visioning process is guided by a Steering Committee, which includes public and private sector representatives from multiple aspects of the Mandan community as well as regional partners. The Steering Committee’s role is to review reports, provide insights and feedback, participate in discussions about the future direction of Mandan, and commit to the successful development of the Strategy. Their participation is invaluable to this process.
