Milwaukee Awards for Neighborhood Development Innovation (MANDI)

Since 1999, LISC Milwaukee has hosted the Milwaukee Awards for Neighborhood Development Innovation (MANDI). The MANDIs highlight the unsung heroes working hard to revitalize Milwaukee’s most distressed urban neighborhoods. This Oscar-style event is attended by 750 civic leaders from the nonprofit, philanthropic, public and private sectors. The MANDIs have grown into the premier event for the community development world, and tell the much-needed story of what’s right with Milwaukee’s neighborhoods. The MANDI Selection Committee includes a panel of 40 volunteer reviewers and jurors who vet nominations and select finalists and winners.

Event Information

Hosted by US Bank, the MANDIs will be held on Wednesday, March 16th, at the Potawatomi Event Center. A cocktail hour and Neighborhood Art Walk will be held from 4:15 to 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner and awards from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The evening will close with a Neighborhood Dessert Reception and DJ from 7:30 to 9 p.m. For registration and information, visit http://programs.lisc.org/milwaukee/mandi/2016_mandi/index.php
