Board responsibilities

Our board members are more than decision-makers. They are advocates, stewards, and champions for the families we serve. Their responsibilities include:

  • Shape our policies and guide our strategic direction
  • Ensure our facilities, programs, and partnerships support children’s health and family well-being
  • Help secure the resources needed to serve families across South Dakota
  • Represent Ronald McDonald House South Dakota in the community and build awareness of our mission
  • Protect the integrity and long-term sustainability of our organization

Three duties of board service

Care – Making thoughtful decisions that put Ronald McDonald House South Dakota and the families we serve first.

Loyalty – Keeping our mission front and center and avoiding any personal or professional conflicts of interest.

Accountability – Following our policies, bylaws, and the legal guidelines that govern our work.

Their commitment, our strength

The leadership our board brings — in the boardroom and in the community — is what allows us to be there for every family facing a child’s serious illness. We are grateful for their service.
