Just wait until you have to manage through a recession with elevated inflation and interest rates this year! The Federal Reserve and the government have laid the foundation for challenges as we move towards 2023 and 2024. Join Jim as he walks us through what was, what is and what will be in 2023 and beyond. Nowak holds a B.S. degree in Finance from St. Cloud State University in Minnesota.

In Gainesville, Georgia, it’s illegal to eat fried chicken with silverware? Or in Indiana, no horse shall be driven or ridden at a speed in excess of 10 mph? According to linerlaw.com, these and other strange laws/ordinances still exist today. Does that make you wonder HOW? Or WHY? Clark will walk us through just HOW ideas become laws. Who is involved, what is the process and how it all works.

Prior to joining the Board of Regents, Clark served on Governor Noem’s and Governor Daugaard’s executive committee as the Chief Financial Officer and the Commissioner of the Bureau of Finance and Management (BFM) for the State of South Dakota for five years.

4:30 p.m. - EMERGING LEADERS: Happy Hour - Here’s your chance to practice what you just learned regarding engagement. Join SDBA staff and other emerging leaders in the Ramkota lounge for a chance to network prior to the legislative reception at 5:30.
