2012 House of Delegates information is here. April 2, 2012, note - new website content management system is "in play," so expect an entirely new look and feel here soon.

Welcome to the South Dakota State Employees Organization, a voluntary association of and for South Dakota state employees. The SDSEO works on behalf of all South Dakota citizens, taxpayers, and state employees to provide a lobbying voice and watchdog force in favor of the South Dakota state employee. The SDSEO works year-round to protect and improve salaries, benefits, and working conditions for South Dakota state employees. We are headquartered in Pierre, but we have active and energized chapters statewide. The SDSEO is not a union.

March 23, 2012 - A lot has taken place since I posted on this page last. I encourage you to check out the Notes page for bundles of great information. What's there? Discussions of pretty much every bill that affected state employees? Check. Discussions of the House of Delegates? Check. A new SDSEO brochure and registration form? Check. A link to the 2012-2013 SDSEO Scholarship application? Check. More and more? Check and check.

Feb. 1, 2012 - New to the site is the Notes page, which is where Executive Director Eric Ollila posts "workaday" informational items; take a look at the page for insight into the Executive Director's office.

Feb. 4, 2012 - Two pages removed and two pages added to the site. Gone are "Become a Member" and "Benefits." They are replaced by Join! and SDSEO Member Benefits. More coming!

The SDSEO recognizes the selfless and valuable efforts of all South Dakota state employees, employees for whom every working day is spent in the service of both South Dakota and all South Dakotans. Making South Dakota better every day is the goal of all South Dakota state employees, and the SDSEO provides the support that allows South Dakota state employees to think about the job at hand, rather than worry about pay, benefits, job satisfaction, or even a layoff.

If you're not yet a member of the SDSEO, please join with us. We have membership opportunities for current and retired South Dakota state employees, as well as for businesses and private individuals. We can do our best work for you and for South Dakota if you partner with us.

If you have any questions or would like to contribute to the SDSEO, please contact either our main office or a chapter in your local area. The SDSEO appreciates every opportunity to support and assist the South Dakota state employee.

Don't forget to "like" the SDSEO on Facebook and to "follow" the SDSEO on Twitter.

If you're still reading this, you're probably new to the SDSEO website (welcome!). Please navigate and interact with the site using the menu links at the top and left sides of the page.
