Pierre resident Pam Roberts has been elected president of the South Dakota Board of Regents.
Regents members met today (March 29, 2022) and elected new officers for the coming year.
Roberts replaces John W. Bastian, who served as president since 2020 and continues as a member of the board. The group also elected Jim Thares of Aberdeen as vice president and Tony Venhuizen of Sioux Falls as the board’s secretary.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard appointed Roberts to the Board of Regents in 2016. She retired from state government after a career in senior leadership roles serving on the cabinet of five South Dakota governors, including positions as state labor secretary, state personnel commissioner, and chief of operations. Roberts and her husband, Clay, operate their family’s ranch in Stanley and Lyman counties.
