Sioux Falls’s 2024 Local Business Person of the Year

BOSTON, MA: March 5, 2024 — Alignable’s 2024 Local Businessperson Of The Year Contest reached unparalleled participation levels, logging a whopping 309,000+ votes, 64,000+ recommendations, and an unheard of number of local winners – over 5,100 across the U.S. and Canada.

The largest online networking platform for business owners, Alignable.com invited its 8.7 million+ members to shout-out local business leaders who’ve gone above and beyond guiding peers and supporting entire communities, amid challenging economic conditions.

 

Today, Alignable’s network announces that Kristi Slack Leisinger of Copperleaf Consulting Group has been elected as Sioux Falls’s 2024 Business person Of The Year!

The 2024 contest is the most popular competition Alignable has hosted in over five years, marking a 40% jump in participation over 2023.  During the 2024 contest, which ran from Jan. 8 to Feb. 23, 2024, 5,171 business owners emerged as winners (including ties), across 4,820 communities. That’s an increase of 1,195 additional Local Business People Of 2024 compared to 2023. These leaders were commended for helping their peers and communities through a year with many challenges, including rising interest rates and rents, not to mention skyrocketing supply costs. “In our local business community, we look out for each other and refer businesses down the street or around the corner to help make everyone in town as successful as possible,” said (Your Last Name). “And the challenges we’ve all encountered have compelled many of us to offer counsel to peers fighting to keep their businesses afloat. While I’m thrilled to receive this award, it’s really a testament to our entire community.” Leisinger received a special badge on their Alignable profile, recognizing this big win. In past years, the awareness generated through similar contests has spurred expanded connections, as well as new business for many winners.
