Rotary Club of Downtown Sioux Falls

Our team's community engagement has connected us with excellent opportunities. Eric Ellefson, our Partner & Chief Operations Officer also serves as a Club Executive. He recently hosted a panel discussion on State of the Media. This event brought together local leaders from the digital, television, and print mediums. Discussion took place to evolve the media landscape by inviting many perspectives.

Whittier Middle School Power Lunch

Another awesome initiative we're proud to be part of is the Power Lunch program at Whittier Middle School. Natalie Eisenberg, Partner & Chief Executive Officer, collaboratively coordinates this opportunity for students. Inspiring speakers share their stories to make a positive impact. These efforts offer the tools and encouragement needed for students to achieve their dreams. We can't wait to see all the spectacular things these students will do.

With design and brand development creative service capabilities, we helped bring this project to life. Cassandra Swenson, Senior Designer crafted a logo to capture the positive essence of Power Lunch, creating a strong visual identity. Additionally, she designed a compelling presentation template to simplify showcasing messages and visuals.
