Clay Kiser Unit 92 nominee was Marlene Eimers, Redfield. Marlene was then selected as District 4 representative to the state level. At the State Convention in June Marlene was chosen to represent South Dakota as Auxiliary Unit Member of the Year.

The Unit Member of the Year award recognizes those serving at the unit level who exemplify the values and ideals of the Auxiliary and whose accomplishments significantly impact the programs in their units. The award is open to senior members.
