The City of Manning was recently recognized as an honorable-mention recipient of the Community of Character award.
Each year, the Robert D. and Billie Ray Center at Drake University celebrates Iowa communities, educators, students, schools, and organizations who exemplify the six pillars of character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship.
Manning City Manager Dawn Meyer and Library Director Linda Muhlbauer attended the 2026 Iowa Character Awards on Friday at the Meadows Events and Conference Center in Altoona to accept the award on behalf of the community.
