The SDBA is calling on member banks to participate in its annual South Dakota Banks Make a Difference Survey, which provides a glimpse into how banks work every day to help South Dakotans grow and prosper. On Monday, the SDBA sent the survey link to all SDBA member bank CEOs and the person at each bank who completed last year's survey.
The Association requests that banks supply basic data for calendar year 2021, or for the most recent 12-month period for which the bank has data available. The SDBA will present the findings during its State Legislative Day on Feb. 9.
SDBA is also requesting short narratives and photos of banks’ community service projects. If your bank has a community service project from this past year that you would like to be included, please submit a short narrative describing the project. If you have a photo of the project, email it to Alisa Bousa.
The names of all banks that participate in the survey will be listed in the survey piece. Banks do not need to answer all of the questions in order to be listed. All individual information will be kept confidential as to the amounts disclosed in any of the categories. Last year, responses were compiled from 34 SDBA member banks. The results of last year’s survey can be viewed online.
The deadline to participate in the survey is Jan. 28. If you have any questions on the project, contact Alisa Bousa via email or 605.224.1653.
