As the Ness School of Management & Economics at SDSU deepens its presence in the Sioux Falls region, we’re turning outward – listening first to the community to guide what comes next. This event is part of a multi-session Listening Tour focused on hearing from small businesses, startups, educators, nonprofits, and other local partners who help drive regional growth.

Join us for Public Service Leadership Voices, a conversation designed to listen, learn, and collaborate – think of it as a focus group meets community roundtable. The public sector is at the core of planning for the region's continued and future success, and so are the people and partners who support it. If that’s you, this session is for you!

We’ll discuss challenges, explore opportunities, and uncover ways the Ness School can plug in to help move the Sioux Falls Region forward. Your experiences, insights and ideas will help shape the programs, workshops, and collaborations developed through the Ness School’s outpost at Startup Sioux Falls.

Registration

Attendance is capped at 10 to keep the dialogue personal and meaningful. A free meal will be served at 11:30 a.m., with discussion beginning promptly at noon. Register now to share your story, connect with other leaders, and help guide the Ness Schools work to impact the region. Because the best ideas don’t start in a boardroom — they start in conversations like this one.

Registration can be completed using the form below. If all spots have been taken, be sure to join the wiatlist to be notified when the second session is scheduled.
