Laurie Monroe took over after her father’s death on March 17, 1995, and was director until about 2006, according to Nancy McMoneagle, with Skip Atwater then filling in. By March 2008 Paul Rademacher was the new executive director, and other directors followed. A 2014 magazine profile calls Nancy McMoneagle the recently appointed executive director and president, her second term after 1983 to 1991. The Institute’s website now lists Allyn Evans as chief executive officer and Luigi Sciambarella as chief R&D officer. Robert Monroe: “That is that the Institute today is not just one man. I'm just one small part of the process that, through those 35 years, beginning in 1958, various types of people got involved, because there was no scientific base to try and determine what an out-of-body is or was. But, all the most important thing is that all through these intervening years up to now, and there have been hundreds, literally hundreds of people from all disciplines participating … making the Institute what it is now. And the, these are engineers, a lot of engineers, physicists, psychologists by the ton, psychiatrists, MDs, professors in various colleges and universities.” (A Rare Conversation with Bob Monroe | Exploring Expanded States of Consciousness | EOC (Ep. 3), 2023-08-02)

Skip Atwater: “We'll call it the M5000 program, for Monroe. 5000, maybe. I don't know if the M really comes from Monroe, but he did call it the M5000 program. Well, it wasn't, but a couple of years [later] that we surpassed that 5,000 number, and now we do about a thousand people a year through the Institute itself, let alone all the home use of this. So in Bob's curiosity, in Bob's investigation to find out what happened to him, created initially this whole idea that has grown decades later into what we have now as the Monroe [Institute].” (Skip on Bob, 2010-03-13) Nancy McMoneagle: “So we did that, and he then bought the property which I'm now speaking to you from, and built then what is now the Monroe Institute. So it went from Whistlefield Research Labs, and actually while we were still there he turned that into the Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences. And then we moved here to this property in Nelson County.” (#16 - Nancy "Scooter" McMoneagle of the Monroe Institute, 2016-02-09)
Tom Campbell: “And he decided this was a business. And in another 6 months after that, myself and Dennis, and at that time Nancy Lee [Honeycutt] is called Scooter, that's Bob's stepdaughter, and Dennis and I, we were on the road. We were going to Boston and we were going to California, and we laid it, we made this big harness, sound harness, so we could play something and a whole bunch of people would lie down.” (Remembering Robert Monroe and Journeys Out of the Body with Tom Campbell, author of My Big TOE, 2025-05-02) “The agricultural division will explore new ways and combinations thereof to grow foods on a totally organic basis. The [principal] purpose will be to provide sustenance for those living in residence on the New Land. Various techniques of plant growth, including hydroponics, ultrasonics, ELF radiation and solar-heated greenhouses will bring fresh vegetables on a year-round basis. A special community center will be the meeting place for group activities on the New Land and will contain the Institute archives, meditation rooms, and recreational facilities. Cabins for individual retreat and solitude will be located in hidden valleys and atop Robert's Mountain.” (The Explorer Vol.1, No.2 (1978) — 2 'New Land' Construction Now Under Way.pdf, 1978)
