# Executive Director Lauseng to Retire

![MarchCelebration](https://info.sdhda.org/hs-fs/hubfs/MarchCelebration.jpg?width=2100&name=MarchCelebration.jpg)

It is with mixed feelings that we announce the retirement of Mark Lauseng, our much appreciated leader at South Dakota Housing. Mark has worked for the Authority for 34 years and has been the Executive Director since 2006. His last day at the Authority will be January 8, 2021. 

Please join the staff and board members at South Dakota Housing in saying thank you for his service to the housing industry. The Authority will be hosting a retirement celebration for him in March in hopes that meeting in person can be accomplished at that time.
