Acts of Excellence

Every day, South Dakotans do extraordinary things. The Acts of Excellence (AOE) program, sponsored by Sanford Health, recognizes the individuals and organizations who are building a culture of excellence in South Dakota, one act at a time. Founded in 1974 and named by the SD Legislature as the “Official State Hall of Fame,” the South Dakota Hall of Fame Champions a Culture of Excellence in South Dakota by honoring the impact of individual excellence, one act at a time; and inspiring young people to chase their dreams; while all striving to improve the quality of our lives in South Dakota.

An Act of Excellence can be one event/activity/action or a series of single events.
