Administrative history

The South Dakota Nurses Foundation was formally established in 1999 as a secondary foundation to support and collaborate with the South Dakota Nurses Association. A previous version of the Foundation operated from 1990 to 1998 but was disbanded due to leadership challenges.

The Foundation focuses on three core objectives: advancing research to expand nursing knowledge and improve healthcare practices; supporting education to promote health-related learning and professional development; and providing service to benefit the people of South Dakota through the healthcare profession.

Since its reestablishment in 1999, the Foundation’s Board of Directors has met annually, with the exception of 2001.

Scope and content

This collection contains a brief history of the South Dakota Nurses Foundation and meeting minutes from the Board of Directors spanning 1999 to 2019.

The collection documents the development and governance of a key support organization for nursing professionals in South Dakota. It provides insight into the Foundation’s role in advancing nursing education, research, and public health initiatives across the state.
