The South Dakota Department of Tourism has recognized 47 businesses in 22 communities for their outstanding hospitality and customer service. These businesses have earned the “South Dakota Great Place” designation.
Tourism Secretary Jim Hagen says the South Dakota Great Service Star program was updated to the South Dakota Great Place Program in 2020. The program is a designation for businesses that put hospitality at the forefront of all they do as a company by providing guests with exceptional service. He says these businesses are constantly innovating and finding ways to make their guests comfortable and welcomed and their communities more vibrant.
Pierre Area Chamber of Commerce CEO Jamie Seiner has resigned, effective Feb. 26, 2021.
“It was my fortune to meet so many of you, work alongside an incredibly talented and passionate team, and lead an important organization in a community I love,” Seiner said. “Thank you, every one of you, for this great experience.”
The chamber’s executive board of directors, currently chaired by Thomas Allerdings, ClubHouse Hotel and Suites, will oversee the candidate selection process. Seiner will continue to lead the chamber as the interim CEO.
“Jamie is leaving behind a talented staff who will continue to work diligently to fulfill the chamber’s mission, which is to promote prosperity, growth and our way of life in the lower Oahe region,” Allerdings said.
