Congratulations to Kolsen Papon, CPA on an outstanding accomplishment!

After earning his CPA designation in April, Kolsen was recently recognized at the North Dakota CPA Society Annual Convention for achieving one of the top CPA Exam scores in the state. He earned the second-highest score overall, missing the top spot by just a quarter of a percent.

We're proud of Kolsen's hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence. Please join us in congratulating him on this well-deserved recognition!

Proud to spend the day volunteering with Youthworks as they prepare for their annual "We've Got You Covered.” event.

Our team joined more than 100 volunteers in unloading donations and organizing clothing that will be provided free of charge to local families, helping students head back to school with confidence.

Thank you, YouthWorks, for 40 years of making a difference in our communities. 💚

Some of life's most valuable lessons are learned through athletics: how to bounce back from setbacks, trusting the process, supporting a team, and keep showing up.

We're honored to support the NDSU Team Makers Lynn Dorn Women's Golf Classic and the scholarships that help women student-athletes pursue their goals both on and off the course.
