Black Hills Energy employees receive company's highest honor

RAPID CITY, S.D., Nov. 2, 2023 – Two local Black Hills Energy employees recently received the company’s highest employee recognition from company CEO Linn Evans.

Among those receiving this year’s CEO Summit Award are Ken Meirose, electric operations manager in Sturgis, and Scott Livingston, security awareness program manager in Rapid City.
