Culture of Excellence in South Dakota Plans for 2015 Strengthen the Champions for Excellence brand Support Legends & Learning statewide in South Dakota classrooms
WINTER 2015
DAVID OLSON Chairman
Two years ago we expanded our mission to become an agent for change in South Dakota. The intervening years have been used to lay the groundwork for an exciting future for the Hall. It is a future you can be proud of.
This year we will unveil two new programs and a partnership with SDPB. They are: LEGACY OF ACHIEVEMENT. Soon all inductees or their descendants will be able to access our new network to tell their full up-to-date story. It is my hope they will use this opportunity to tell readers not only what has been accomplished but why and how. It will be a great resource for others to understand excellence. ACTS OF EXCELLENCE. Using our new network we will accept submissions from all South Dakotans telling stories of excellence. Acts will encourage and inspire excellence.
“ ...This year we will unveil two new programs and a partnership with SDPB.”
Expand Legacy of Achievement through videos, photos and documents telling stories of excellence
PUBLIC TELEVISION. Inductees will be interviewed and their stories shown on public television. We understand the power of television and will use this program as our initial foray into this medium.
Launch Acts of Excellence for statewide recognition
A SPECIAL THANK YOU to our staff, Greta and Keileen, as they work hard to further our cause. A special thanks is also due Board Vice Chair and Hall inductee Dick Gowen for his work in developing our new Champions for Excellence Network. And as always, a special thank you is due to our supporters. We cannot succeed without your help.
Partnership with Public
Television Continue to update storytelling through exhibits at the museum and beyond the walls with Building a Culture of Excellence theme
