Jeri Smith of Pierre has been named the 2022 South Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs Outstanding Leader, Mentor, Advocate of the Year.
Smith joined the SDDVA team in 2015. She manages SDDVA’s bonus program, military funeral honor reimbursement program, headstone setting fee reimbursement program, and provides accounting expertise for the Department.
South Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs Greg Whitlock says her sense of pride in assisting veterans and our partners, her reliability, ethics, teamwork, and passion are just a few of her outstanding qualities. He says she’s eager to assist their team in understanding the accounting program and process for submitting their paperwork timely and accurately.
Smith– who DRG Media Group listeners know as our former News Director Jeri Thomas– was recognized by her peers at SDDVA’s annual benefit conference this week (Aug. 15, 2022) in Pierre.
