Leadership Spearfish was the best opportunity for me to connect with the community. As a brand new resident, I felt it was a great way to learn the history and connect with community leaders. I wouldn’t have had the courage to sit on a board of directors if it weren’t for my time in leadership.

I’ve lived in Spearfish for 12 years, but the Leadership Spearfish program took my knowledge of the city to a whole new level. The opportunity to tour key institutions and hear from many of our civic and business leaders in the community was well worth the time invested.
