Description

Business Day at the Legislature

Business Day at the Legislature has existed for over 40 years and continues to be the largest event for the South Dakota Chamber.  The purpose of the day reflects our role as a leading voice of business by bringing local business and community leaders to Pierre for updates on legislative activities, participation in the Business Caucus, providing speakers on timely and business-related issues, networking opportunities, recognition of business and legislative advocates -- and of the manufacturing industry -- along with an opportunity to spend time at the Capitol during session.
