Former Governor Dennis Daugaard, and his wife Linda, have given back to South Dakota in numerous ways–from serving as 32nd governor and first lady of South Dakota from 2011 to 2019, to their dedication to multiple organizations, including the Children’s Home Society, the Fairy Godmother’s Fund, and to the South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF) where Dennis currently serves as Vice Chair on the Board of Directors.
Dennis and Linda recently joined Jamie Farmen, Community Development Coordinator & Marketing Manager for SDCF, to discuss the power of giving back to South Dakota and the ways they are making an impact.
