SPITZER PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD, MISS SOUTH DAKOTA SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION On behalf of the entire board of directors of the Miss South Dakota Scholarship Foundation, it is my privilege to welcome you to the Miss South Dakota Competition in the newly constructed Performing Arts Center on the campus of South Dakota State University in Brookings! Together with our producer Ray Peterson and Executive Director September Kirby, both residents of Brookings, we have a spectacular show “Believe” for our first competition held outside of Hot Springs in our 73 year history. We have been truly well received in the Brookings community by many wonderful and dedicated people that have helped bring this competition together from the beginning which include but not limited to: Kristi Richter, Jennifer Johnson, Alex Bisson, Carolyn Knutson and Karla Eidem. Without their community ties and contacts the competition would not have the community support needed to produce this event. A tremendous thank you goes out to the area businesses who have graciously donated time, money and facilities to make this year’s competition a truly memorable event. Enjoy the show and “BELIEVE”! SEPTEMBER KIRBY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR As Executive Director of the South Dakota Scholarship Foundation (SDSF), the theme for this year’s competition, Believe, brings it all back into perspective. In this role I have the amazing opportunity to watch young ladies Believe in their dream of representing South Dakota. Every titleholder may have a different approach to making a difference, but all want to leave the Miss South Dakota Organization with their own legacy. This year Carrie and Jessica were no different, they not only served as ambassadors to the Children’s Miracle Network, but also promoted their own social impact initiatives which truly impacted hundreds in the state of South Dakota. It gives me a proud “Mom” moment to reflect on what they accomplished this year. This year Believe became a driving force to the Brookings Planning Committee in preparation of moving the competition after 72 years. Starting in October, the committee met every other week for 2 hours to plan and prepare the details of this 3-day event. Special recognition and thanks to Kristi, Alex, Jennifer, Ray, Carolyn and Karla for their commitment and dedication to the SDSF. I truly Believe this move would not have happened without this team of individuals. You hold a special place in my heart and I am forever grateful for the time, talent and treasures you shared to make the 2019 Miss South Dakota competition a success. The Miss America Organization Mission Statement is To prepare great women for the world and to prepare the world for great women. When people ask me “Why do you volunteer for this organization?” I respond with - I Believe in the opportunity of providing young women the chance to grow and develop lifelong skills – you don’t have to be the “winner” for that . I Believe that all young women should reach for their dreams and the scholarship dollars provided through the SDSF can assist with their educational goals. I Believe those touched by the Miss South Dakota Organization are better versions of themselves because of competing – just look at the success stories from the former Miss South Dakota’s. I Believe this organization creates a network of empowered women who are capable of anything they BELIEVE in. Because every journey starts with believing, and belief will keep you going. Believe in yourself. Believe in your dreams. Believe you can. 3 SDSF BOARD OF DIRECTORS BRIAN SPITZER TARI MCCLUNG JUDY THIES SEPTEMBER KIRBY BOARD PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT TREASURER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MEGAN LIPP CAROL NESBITT ASHLEY LAUING SALLY ISBURG ASSOCIATE ED TEEN ASSOCIATE ED MISS SCHOLARSHIP JUDGES COORDINATOR COORDINATOR MARK WISMER RAYMOND PETERSON TECHNICAL DIRECTOR PRODUCER 4 605.651.5836 www.den-wil.com 5 for inviting and welcoming the Miss South Dakota Scholarship Foundation into your thriving community.

There were contestant photos in store windows up and down the street like always and there were the same friendly smiles that have greeted visiting pageant supporters for over seven decades. But behind the plastered windows and outward smiles were conversations of concern and regret and inner thoughts of what the little city would be like without the pageant; for after 72 dedicated years in historical Hot Springs, the Miss South Dakota Pageant would be finding a new home elsewhere in the Rushmore state. Where it would land remained a mystery—a deep, dark secret until Saturday night when Roselyn Anderson Ridley, our very first Miss South Dakota, would open the envelope and hand it over to the newly crowned Miss South Dakota for the big announcement. Meanwhile, the Mueller Civic Center was a-buzz with activity in preparation for three nights of keen competition – both Miss and Outstanding Teen – within an up-lifting show built on empowerment. From the opening strains of “This is the Greatest Show” and “Come Alive” to the heart-wrenching closing song, “From Now On,” Dan and Julie Aughenbaugh together with Miranda Mack and Elizabeth Nesland, the reigning Miss South Dakota and Outstanding Teen, lead a solid cast of talented vocalists and contestants in a powerful salute to today’s modern woman. Song by song, the music would lead to the crowning of Jessica Benson, Miss South Dakota’s Outstanding Teen 8 2019 on Friday night and to Carrie Wintle on Saturday, thereby becoming the 72nd lucky young woman to wear the highly treasured Miss South Dakota sash and crown. But there was still more to come as Board President Brian Spitzer and Miss South Dakota 1947 Roselyn Anderson Ridley entered the stage for the big reveal. The theatre was deadly silent as Roselyn opened the envelope and handed it over to Carrie. Then came the announcement.

    Sink Or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition

    Volume 4, Issue No. 1. Sink or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition Grace Slapak Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA ÒÏ Abstract: The Miss America beauty pageant has faced widespread criticism for the swimsuit portion of its show. Feminists claim that the event promotes objectification and oversexualization of contestants in direct contrast to the Miss America Organization’s (MAO) message of progressive female empowerment. The MAO’s position as the leading source of women’s scholarships worldwide begs the question: should women have to compete in a bikini to pay for a place in a cellular biology lecture? As dissent for the pageant mounts, the new head of the MAO Board of Directors, Gretchen Carlson, and the first all-female Board of Directors must decide where to steer the faltering organization. The MAO, like many other businesses, must choose whether to modernize in-line with social movements or whole-heartedly maintain their contentious traditions. When considering the MAO’s long and controversial history, along with their recent scandals, the #MeToo Movement, and the complex world of television entertainment, the path ahead is anything but clear. Ultimately, Gretchen Carlson and the Board of Directors may have to decide between their feminist beliefs and their professional business aspirations. Underlying this case, then, is the question of whether a sufficient definition of women’s leadership is simply leadership by women or if the term and its weight necessitate leadership for women. Will the board’s final decision keep this American institution afloat? And, more importantly, what precedent will it set for women executives who face similar quandaries of identity? In Murky Waters The Miss America Pageant has long occupied a special place in the American psyche.

    Vote of No Confidence and a Demand for the Immediate Resignation of the Entire Miss America Board of Trustees and President/Ceo

    VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE AND A DEMAND FOR THE IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION OF THE ENTIRE MISS AMERICA BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND PRESIDENT/CEO We, the undersigned state licensees of the Miss America Organization (MAO), represent all areas of the United States, decades of leadership, and innumerable contributions to the legacy of the Miss America Organization at every level. As dedicated members of our state and local communities who lend our reputations, financial support, and voluntary efforts to facilitate MAO’s long and powerful mission of empowering women to stand up and speak out, we find ourselves needing to use our own voices of leadership to express our profound disappointment regarding what, in our view, is the failed leadership of the entire MAO Board of Trustees led by Ms. Gretchen Carlson as its Chair and Ms. Regina Hopper as its President and CEO. The recent ouster of two duly elected Trustees, followed by the resignations of two elected Miss Americas from the nine-member Board, have underscored our grave concerns regarding the direction in which MAO is headed, its financial viability, and the expected exercise of all duties attendant to each Trustee as required by law. We were promised transparency, competence, and adherence to best practices and good governance. The current Trustees and identified staff member have both individually and collectively failed to deliver on those promises and commitments. In our opinion their leadership has demonstrated that “Miss America 2.0” is simply a new title for the same old tactics of obfuscation and fear-based governance. THEREFORE, we the undersigned state licensees expressly declare NO CONFIDENCE IN THE ENTIRE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND THE PRESIDENT/CEO.
