Rapid City, South Dakota — Oct. 21, 2021 —Two Black Hills Energy employees in Rapid City, South Dakota, have received the company’s highest employee recognition from company CEO Linn Evans.

Among those receiving this year’s CEO Summit Award were employees Mutch Usera, a senior community relations program manager from Rapid City, and Stacey Denke, a senior finance manager from Rapid City, South Dakota.

The distinction acknowledges superior professional achievement and community service while supporting the development of a culture that recognizes performance, reinforces company values and standards, and promotes teamwork.  

“The CEO Award recognizes employees who exemplify our mission, vision and values,” Evans said. “This year’s recipients exhibit the attributes we hope to cultivate throughout our organization: They’re values-driven, generous with their time, strong in character and focused on making life better for our customers and our communities.”  

Evans presented the award this year and selected this year’s four honorees from 76 peer-nominated employees throughout the company’s 3,000 employees. The other honorees this year are Phil Escareno, a recently retired senior account manager from Garden City, Kansas, and Calvin Briggs, a lead gas operations technician from Wichita, Kansas.
