We're so excited to announce our 2026 Sales & Marketing Executive of the Year is Paul TenHaken, the immediate previous Mayor of Sioux Falls.

As the 32nd Mayor of Sioux Falls from 2018-2026, Paul used his background as the founder of a digital marketing agency to unify city branding, modernize internal operations, and shape public communication.

His leadership emphasized public entrepreneurship, innovation, employee culture, and fiscal responsibility. Created during his time in office, his One Sioux Falls framework prioritized investments for strategic community growth through safety and health, accessible housing, workforce development, and support for kids and families.

Big congrats, Paul! We look forward to seeing you at the Summit.

We are thrilled to announce that this year's Sioux Falls Leadership Summit 2026 will kick off with Jason VanRuler, LPC-MH, LMHC, CSAT-S, who will challenge us all to consider one powerful question: "What is it like to be on the other side of you?"

Through compelling stories, practical research, and actionable insights, Jason explores how every interaction shapes culture, trust, and performance. Attendees will discover how greater self-awareness and relational awareness can lead to stronger communication, deeper influence, and healthier teams.

Leaders will leave with practical strategies they can implement immediately to create the kind of leadership experience people want to follow, regardless of the changes and advancements ahead in technology.

If this sounds transformational, we'd love for you to join us!
