40+ Years and Counting – IHD Employees Recognized for Years of Service

When it comes to dedication, one employee at the University of Missouri-Kansas City’s Institute for Human Development has staying power! Leisha Manning has served more than 40 years with IHD’s support staff in a variety of administrative rolls, largely keeping the bills paid. She has seen people come and go through the years, but her service has been rock-steady.

Leisha Manning joins with 20 other employees who were also recognized in December 2023 for their years of service by IHD Director George Gotto, Ph.D., and Associate Director Michelle Reynolds, Ph.D.

Each employee was recognized for the five-year milestones they’ve achieved.
