information

“During a time of so much uncertainty, SDRA kept us connected and informed with what was going on in South Dakota and across the country. With ever-changing guidelines and restrictions, it was nice to have a trusted source compiling and distributing the information businesses needed.”

- Eric Sinclair
Montgomery’s | Statewide

advocacy

All the legislative action that goes on – it is hard for a business owner to stay on top of all that. So for our membership to manage what goes on in Pierre and for the Retailers Association to have their finger on the issues, is priceless!

services

"The program that SDRA provides with Jackson Lewis have been invaluable to Black Hills Bagels. My husband and I have used him every year since the service has been provided. We’ve used him for everything from helping us write a simple sentence to do with an unemployment claim dispute, all the way to a whistleblower case involving federal labor attorneys - and ultimately the cases were dismissed just from his advice."
