Tomorrow’s Top Hands Beef Leadership Summit
Partnering with cattle and ranch organizations throughout western North Dakota remains an important aspect of Dakota West’s region, and this week we are proud to sponsor the North Dakota Stockman’s Association’s Tomorrow’s Top Hands Beef Leadership Summit in Minot this Thursday through Saturday in Minot.
The Tomorrow's Top Hands Beef Leadership Summit is a high-energy, power-packed, beef-industry career exploration and leadership development conference to help youth gain connections and develop leadership skills. Focused on the youth ages 14 through 20, speakers from across North Dakota are gathering to help instill the leadership skills among the next generation of North Dakota’s ranchers.
We've supported ranching students from 4-H fundraisers, to regional saddle clubs, from high school rodeos to our own Dakota West scholarship recipients such as Charles Eriksmoen. Supporting today's students and tomorrow's ranchers will continue the traditions of western North Dakota.
To learn more about this event, and all the ways the North Dakota Stockman’s Association is serving ranchers, be sure to visit ndstockman.org, or follow its Facebook page to learn more about current events in our region. Dakota West is proud to be a member of this organization and support its work in supporting the efforts of ranchers throughout western North Dakota.
How Do You Measure The Value Of A Loan?
We’ve started asking this question throughout North Dakota. Value implies more than just dollars and cents. Value means an addition that makes one choice preferable over the other, like amenities at a hotel. We have the ability to compare savings when shopping online for airfare or car insurance.
At Dakota West, we also want to start a conversation about our values – what we believe and what we practice when we service a loan, when we help a new member open an account, or when we complete a transaction at our drive-through windows. We value the trust that our borrowers place in us. We value the commitment made by our team and our members when we enter this partnership. And, above all else, we value the relationship that grows while working with our members.
We find value in doing more for our members, not just in our branches, but in our communities. This past week we sponsored the Fusion Conference in Bowman. This autumn we’ve driven in homecoming parades in several communities (when the weather didn’t rain on our parade). We are in the midst of our campaign to support the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in Fargo. We support local rodeos, fairs, school sporting and booster events, and regional tournaments. We volunteer as emergency responders, in our state parks, with community organizations, and at our churches.
Our values and the way we serve our members, put simply, come down to this:
We are ready to listen.
We succeed together.
We can do this together.
We value your trust.
That’s how we measure our values.
