Dale Clement is a former professor and dean of the University of South Dakota School of Business for 26 years, where he began a lifelong career devoted to education excellence, business and economic research, charitable endeavors and public service to South Dakota. Today, he serves on the board of the John T. Vucurevich Foundation.

In a conversation with Matt Ehlman of The Numad Group, he will talk about John T. Vucurevich--both about the man, and the work of the foundation today. He will also talk about economic development in our community.

In addition to his dedication to USD School of Business, Dale served on the South Dakota Investment Council and the Revolving Economic Development and Initiative (REDI) Fund Board. His public service included the South Dakota Chamber of Commerce, South Dakota Council on Economic Education, founding of the Small Business Development Centers in Vermillion, Sioux Falls, Rapid City and Watertown, establishment of the German Sister Cities in Vermillion and Rapid City, and service on numerous boards.

He also has received numerous awards, including the Deans Wing of the new USD Business School named the Clement Wing, the most recent honor bestowed on him. He was named to the South Dakota Hall of Fame in 2010.

I enjoyed the informal conversation and Dale’s thoughts about John Vucurevich. We gained an inside look at John, his thoughts and feelings.
