💙 Thank You, City of Marion,! 💙

The Marion Leadership in Action Class of 2026 would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the City of Marion and its leadership team for such an engaging and inspiring experience.

Hearing from city leadership and learning about the many departments that serve our community gave our class a deeper appreciation for the collaboration and care that makes Marion the best place in Iowa to raise and family and grow a business. We’re grateful for the time, insight, and dedication shared with us. This is how we can all Reach Higher!

Thank you for investing in our class and in the future of Marion. 💙

Members of the 2024-25 MLIA class gathered for a photo near the illuminated gift box at Christmas in the Park. This feature, and the new Sleigh were part of last year’s Winter Lights fundraiser. A wonderful addition to the park!
