Mayor Jordan Hanson has announced Dave Sietsema as the new Director of the World’s Only Corn Palace. “He stood out the best among most people with his business background, expanding a business, growing a business,” said Hanson.
Two things stood out to the Mayor. “One was they want to make it an agricultural masterpiece like it used to be,” Hanson said. “Really focus on customer experience, which is one thing I really wanted to focus on in the Corn Palace, too.”
The search committee reviewed 19 applications and narrowed the candidates to three, before ultimately selecting Sietsema.
His appointment goes before the City Council at its next meeting on December 16th.
