DSU Foundation

2009 Board of Trustees

Members of the Dakota State Foundation Board of Trustees are leaders in business, education, or civic affairs. They serve without compensation because of their commitment to higher education and to Dakota State University. They have two full board meetings a year, traveling at their own expense from around South Dakota and the nation.  Members contribute their considerable expertise and give generously of their own resources in support of DSU. The trustees provide external oversight of the Foundation’s operations and the President of the Foundation reports to them.
