About the Mandan Progress Organization
Founded in 1993, the Mandan Progress Organization (MPO) has been a cornerstone in Mandan's development, uniting businesses and citizens with a shared goal of fostering community growth. Since adopting its mission in 2021 to strengthen local businesses, through premier events and activities, MPO has significantly enhanced Mandan's cultural and business landscape. The organization collaborates closely with the City of Mandan, Mandan Park District, Mandan Public School District, Morton County, and entities like the Bismarck-Mandan Chamber EDC and the Bismarck-Mandan Convention & Visitors Bureau, ensuring a unified approach to community development.
MPO's recent endeavors include hosting signature community events that have become cornerstones of local culture and attraction. These events not only showcase the vibrant life of Mandan but also serve as a platform for business collaboration and community engagement. The branding initiative through 'Visit Mandan' has been instrumental in promoting Mandan as a destination, attracting visitors and enhancing the city's brand. Adding to its roster of impactful initiatives, the new 'Mandan Holiday Lights on Main' is a testament to MPO’s commitment to creating memorable experiences for residents and visitors alike, illuminating the city's streets with festive cheer and fostering a sense of community during the holiday season.
