President's Report Wow! How fast did this year go?! I can’t believe my year as the SDML President is almost over. I honestly enjoyed every minute of it! Well...writing these articles weren’t always the most “fun,” but I made it through. One thing that comes to mind when I think of the South Dakota Municipal League, is: “They got your back.” As city dynamics change whether it is law changes, employee changes or council changes, the SDML is always there to help! Sometimes we think our support system is there and then, “POOF”! It’s gone. Or... maybe it wasn’t really what we thought it was from the start. But when you get down to the nut and bolts of every day city business, there is one entity that you can count on no matter what. That is the SDML. They are here to guide, assist, and help with any situation or scenario that serving the public throws at you.
OCTOBER 2014
I would like to thank Yvonne, Christine, Carrie, Lori, Sandi, and Jeff for everything they do every day to make our work days easier. Thanks for having my back! I feel HONORED and PRIVILEGED to have served as the SDML President this past year and I thank you all for the opportunity. Just remember: Make it a good day! There is no such thing as a bad day, just bad moments in the day, and it is up to you what you make of it! Becky Brunsing President
