Meet BFDC Past President Wendy Bowers --- I have lived in Belle Fourche since 1987 when my dad was stationed here with the Air Force. After graduating from Belle Fourche High School and earning degrees at BHSU, I met and married my husband of 27 years, Lyle. We moved to Nebraska for almost a year but came back because Belle Fourche is home. More than once, we talked about moving somewhere with a milder climate, but when our son Nathan (now 18) was born, we decided that there wasn’t anywhere else we would be happier raising him.

I was elected to the BFDC Board of Directors in 2018 and served as the Board President from 2022 until January of 2026. My involvement began as part of the inaugural class of Leadership Belle Fourche, where I learned so much about how development works and the ripple effect it has on our economy and our community. My greatest motivation is the desire to help ensure that Belle Fourche continues to be a place that my son and his peers will not only want to come back to raise their families, but will have good opportunities for employment and housing when they do.

I have worked for Pioneer Bank & Trust for 5 years. In addition to my role with BFDC, I currently serve as the Treasurer and team administrator for the Bronc Bird Busters, Treasurer of the South Dakota Chapter of the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention, and recently began a 3-year term on the Belle Fourche School Board.
