  Have you renewed or purchased your SDES Partnership or Sponsorship Package for the 2025-26 Sponsorship Year?

  
  

  Sponsorship and Partnership Packages are an excellent and easy way to support SDES and your local Chapter, while making it easy to budget your marketing and sponsorship dollars for the year. All the profits from Sponsorships and Partnerships go to support the mission of SDES through conferences, chapter activities, scholarships, and other SDES programs.

  
  

  All Packages start July 1, 2025 and continue through June 30, 2026.

  
  

  If you have questions or would like to propose an alternate sponsorship, contact Nancy in the SDES Office at 605.951.1004.

  
  

  Thank you for your support of the South Dakota Engineering Society!
