The Excellence in Economic Development Award was established several years ago to honor the dedication and commitment of eight South Dakotas who lost their lives during an economic development trip. Business and individuals from across the state helped finance the award established in memory of the Late-Gov. George S. Mickelson, Roland Dolly, Ron Reed Angus Anson, David Birkeland, Rodger Hainje, Dave Hanson and Ron Becker. The spirit of those visionary South Dakotans lives on through the current efforts of individuals across the state.
