Mark Lee to leave the Sioux Falls Chamber

by

Mr. Lee, Public Affairs & Communications Director for the SF Chamber is leaving to run a Sioux Falls branch of his family’s bank.

While I disagree with Mark about 99.9% of the time, I will say I am going to miss him. I’ve enjoyed his multiple jabs over the past couple of years in his Chamber articles directed at me and South DaCola. As you know, I much more prefer criticism over praise, it keeps me on my toes. I hope the Chamber can replace him with someone just as sharp and sometimes biting.

    What? He is leaving the Chamber? The Chamber which recently helped to fund a study about affordable housing in Sioux Falls, while at the same time the Chamber has a track record of being against every minimum wage increase in history?…. Perhaps, the study funding was the “straw which broke the camel’s back” for him….. 😉

    In the absence of the facts, it’s possible to design all kinds of scenarios. My own scenario is that Lee came to the Chamber anticipating becoming the Executive Director after Evan Nolte retired. When that didn’t happen, he waited for a decent interval, scoped out other possible opportunities, and chose now to make his move elsewhere.

    Hey, I would have jumped at an opportunity to work for a successful family business, good for him.

    I also hear that he got himself in a bit of a bind over the siding comments.

    So in other words, he took one for Team Jamison, huh?
