Watch Inductee Speeches from the Class of 2022

The Class of 2022 was honored last September for their induction into the South Dakota Hall of Fame. The special weekend was spent celebrating their statewide impact, and the Honors Ceremony Banquet was a night we won’t soon forget. 

As we eagerly anticipate the Class of 2023 Honors Ceremony this September, we wanted to take a look back at our last class's special night where we had the pleasure of listening to Inductees and representatives speak.

These speeches are now available to view online. For anyone who was unable to join us for the Class of 2022 Honors Ceremony, you can scroll down and watch inspiring speeches from this special night uplifting excellence in South Dakota.
