Annually, the Governor and South Dakota Board of Vocational Rehabilitation recognize state employers who have made strides in hiring people with disabilities.  Since taking over as food service director in Mitchell, Leann Carmody has reached out to individuals with disabilities in our community and hired them for various jobs in our nutrition program. As a result of her and her staff's efforts, the program was nominated by Jill Beaton of Mitchell's Advisory Council for People with Disabilities.   The Governor presented Mrs. Carmody with the state-level recognition at the Capitol Rotunda in Pierre on Tuesday, September 15.
