Jody Obermeier
I am honored to join the Choose Clark County board. Having lived in Clark County for most of my life, I am passionate about supporting our small communities and believe that investing in our youth is essential to building a strong, sustainable future.
I currently serve on the boards of the Crocker Wind Farm Community Fund and Crocker Lutheran Church. I grew up in the Bradley area, graduated from Clark High School in 1991, and now work alongside my husband, Ted, and our family on the Obermeier Ranch in rural Crocker, SD.
Our family includes Zed, who attends Clark MS/HS, Gunnar and his family, Wilkes, and Serena, and her family. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, attending sporting events, and raising chickens.
