Governor Makes Appointments to Medical, Arts Boards
PIERRE, S.D. – Gov. Dennis Daugaard has appointed Dr. Jeffrey Murray of Sioux Falls to the state Board of Medical and Osteopathic Examiners.
Murray is Medical Director of the Endoscopy Center and Vice Chairman of the Department of Internal Medicine at the Sanford USD Medical Center. He succeeds the late-Dr. John VanderWoude of Sioux Falls on the nine-member medical board.
In addition, the Governor has appointed Justine Estes of Rapid City and James L. Johnson of Brookings to the State Arts Council. Estes has long been involved in the local arts community and currently is President of the Black Hills Chamber Music Society; Johnson is the former director of theatre at South Dakota State University.
Reappointed by the Governor to the Arts Council were Brian Bonde and Lynne Byrne of Sioux Falls, Mary Bordeaux of Pine Ridge, and Lynda Clarke of Rapid City.
“I’m pleased that there are so many people in South Dakota who willingly accept public service duties,” Gov. Daugaard said. “The quality of these new appointees and those I’ve reappointed is nothing less than excellent.”
