Roscoe’s Treichel Elected President of the South Dakota Municipal League
FORT PIERRE, S.D. – Leland Treichel, President of the Board for the City of Roscoe, was elected president of the South Dakota Municipal League (SDML) at the association’s annual membership meeting earlier this month.
As board president, Treichel will lead 18 other municipal employees and elected officials from across South Dakota to comprise the Board of Directors for the Municipal League, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that facilitates the cooperative improvement of municipal government in the state.
Treichel’s service in Roscoe city government has spanned 40 years, serving as mayor, alderman, and in his current role as president of the board following the change of Roscoe’s form of government to a Trustee form a few years ago.
Treichel has been actively involved with the Municipal League, serving as district chair for many years and as a board trustee.
The association also elected Michelle DeNeui, Finance Officer of Spearfish, to serve as First Vice President and Dawn Murphy, Finance Officer of Tea, as Second Vice President. Treichel succeeds Carolynn Anderson, Finance Officer of Wall, who will continue to serve on the board as Past President.
Board trustees include Rick Boschee, Mayor of Bowdle, Leah Braun, Chief of Staff for Rapid City, Paullyn Carey, Finance Director of Huron, Richard Thomason, Councilmember for Sioux Falls, and Laurie Woodward, Finance Officer/City Administrator of Custer.
The board also includes representatives from the 10 SDML districts, which are elected in the spring of each year.
The SDML Board of Directors is responsible for all the affairs of the League. The board meets once each year during the annual meeting and at other times as the officers determine.
The election of the SDML Board of Directors occurred Oct. 3 during the annual membership meeting in Pierre. Duties for new positions began immediately, and individuals will serve until the next annual meeting in Oct. 2026.
