Another class of South Dakota professionals has recently completed an eight-month program aimed at developing future leaders of our state. The 2017/2018 Leadership South Dakota class consisted of 43 individuals, representing 30 different occupations, from communities across South Dakota.
This is the fourth class to complete the program aimed at attracting engaged citizens from across the state and providing them with the background, unique experiences and insights necessary to assume leadership positions at the community, state, and national levels.
Participants of the 2017/2018 program traveled to Brookings, Rapid City, Pierre, Kyle, Sioux Falls, Mitchell and Chamberlain to experience commerce, innovative industry, history, culture and other aspects that make South Dakota unique. Participants were also taught valuable skills in the areas of leadership and organizational management to help them with future opportunities.
Huron’s Tom Glanzer, NorthWestern Energy, and Paul Rann, HRMC Foundation, are part of the class of 2018.
The 43 graduates will join the 117 alumni of Leadership South Dakota.
