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 Foundation did not meet in 2001, and no minutes exist for that year.

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.
