Insight Power Institute

About the Foundation

Who we are and how we are governed.

Insight Power Institute is a founder-led 501(c)(3) private operating foundation, recognized by the IRS and incorporated in the State of Ohio.

Our Founding & Status

Insight Power Institute, Inc. was incorporated as a nonprofit corporation in the State of Ohio on March 25, 2026, founded by Louise M. Morman to bring transformational, vertical-development education to adults at every stage of life.

The Institute is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, classified as a private operating foundation. Because we are an operating foundation, we engage directly in the active conduct of our educational programs rather than functioning as a grant-making body. The Institute is founder-funded and supported by program fees.

Louise M. Morman, Founder and Executive Director

Insight Power Institute was founded by Louise M. Morman, who created it to sustain and extend a body of transformational leadership work she has developed across a career in leadership education. She serves as Founder, President, and Executive Director.

For fourteen years, Louise has been the founding Executive Director of the Lilly Leadership Institute at Miami University, where she built a nationally recognized, multi-year leadership development program. Over that time she secured more than $2 million in support, recruited fourteen cohorts, taught more than seventy classes, and worked with over 250 students as the Institute's primary instructor across its courses and workshops.

Earlier in her career she held senior executive roles across the energy sector — including Senior Vice President of Marketing, Economic Development, and Supply Planning at the New York Power Authority, and leadership positions at Delmarva Power and Dayton Power & Light — and served as a senior management consultant at Price Waterhouse. She was a member of the inaugural class of A. Barry Rand Fellows for AARP's Life Reimagined program.

Louise is a certified executive coach and a practitioner of vertical development, and the author of the memoir There’s No Place Like Home and of an IEEE Computer article on preparing the next generation of leaders.
