Business Day at the Legislature

The South Dakota Chamber of Commerce & Industry will hold this annual event Wednesday, February 17, 2021. Business Day will be a virtual (online) event.

Our first session is set for 1:30 to 2:30 PM (CT) when David Owen will present a Legislative update and we will conduct our annual Business Caucus where our members will have the opportunity to vote their opinions on key issues that are being debated in the legislature and those of importance to the business community.

From 2:45 to approximately 4:15 PM (CT) there will be a series of speakers addressing legislative and business-related issues from local, state and national perspectives. We have invited Governor Kristi Noem, GOED Commissioner Steve Westra, and US Chamber President Suzanne Clark to speak. Senators John Thune and Mike Rounds and Congressman Dusty Johnson have also been asked to contribute to this session.

Business Day will be presented using a webcasting service. Registered participants will receive an internet link to join the event. Voting during Business Caucus will be online through the same system.
Registration for the afternoon is $50. The first 200 guests who register by February 1^st will receive a thank you gift to enjoy during the event.

We thank our current list of sponsors for supporting the goals of Business Day at the Legislature which reflect our role as a leading voice of business by communicating legislative updates, member participation in Business Caucus and presenting leading speakers on timely issues.
