The Dell Rapids Society for Historic Preservation oversees the Dell Rapids Museum and works to maintain the historic buildings and architectural integrity of the town’s business district. Their bylaws lacked some key rules and prodecures to provide quality oversight. Thankfully the leadership identified the issues and saught assistance to put together the provisions to better protect the organization, board, and its members.
The process included meeting facilitation, bylaw review, advisory work, creation of a code of conduct, and completion of the updated and improved framework.
“Our all-volunteer museum board realized that our bylaws were outdated and somewhat vague. We wanted them to be very specific regarding financial expenditures and reimbursement. This was needed to protect our members and board members. I reached out to Nikki for help. She helped guide us in revising our bylaws to tighten up financial reimbursement rules, attendance of meetings, and grievance procedures. We feel much more comfortable with our new bylaws and can confidently refer to them to guide us.”

Public Relations
Strategy, message development and earned media placement.
I’ve worked with organizations and media outlets to spotlight meaningful stories that advocate for South Dakotans. From raising awareness about federal funding cuts and SNAP reductions to highlighting Farm Bill policy and rural health care threats, I help connect the right voices to the right platforms.
By identifying credible experts and focusing on issues that resonate, we’ve secured coverage in local and national media—across both traditional and emerging platforms—ensuring these vital stories reach the audiences that need to hear them.

Grassroots Organizing
Influence and educate through local action.
Numerous organizations have powerful stories and vital information to share, but don’t know how to get it in front of the right people.
I’ve helped craft grassroots organizing strategies that connect your message with the people who need to hear it, whether that’s community members, decision-makers, or the media. Together we’ll identify your key issues, target audience, and the most effective tactics to reach and inspire them.
From events and bus tours, press conferences, social media, and marketing campaigns, I build plans that educate, activate, and drive results. The goal isn’t just visability, it’s impact.
