Leadership Bismarck-Mandan Project Presentations

Each year the Leadership Bismarck-Mandan class breaks into several groups to work on a field project addressing community needs. The class will be presenting this projects Wednesday, May 19th at the Bismarck Mandan Chamber EDC.

9-9:45 am — Talking Trails
Bismarck has an abundance of world class outdoor art displays and historical architecture in the downtown area. Without an in-depth knowledge of these art displays and historical settings, they can be overlooked by the average citizen and completely missed by visitors to Bismarck. Our project will link all the incredible stories behind the art and architecture utilizing the popular “Talking Trails” application for smartphones.

10-10:45 am — Ride Share
The goal of our project is to provide specific drop-off and pick-up locations for rideshare services at high-traffic areas. This project will include designated signage for drop-off and pick-up locations, integration with rideshare vendors, and an awareness campaign for our community. We will focus on Bismarck and Mandan downtown areas, the Bismarck Event Center, Bismarck State College (BSC), and the Bismarck Airport, as they are the locations that would likely see the most benefit from having designated rideshare locations.
