Washington Pavilion Leadership Change

The Washington Pavilion in Sioux Falls is making a leadership change going into effect on the first of September. The Pavilion board of trustees is creating a co-presidency team.

Current Washington Pavilion President Larry Toll is teaming up with LodgeNet CEO Scott Petersen. Both will serve as co-presidents of the Pavilion. The board of trustees believes having two individuals in the leadership role should help with future decision making. Petersen says he is honored to be appointed as a co-president. He says he is glad the pavilion reached out to him.

"I’ve always been a great admirer for the pavilion as you all have been. And on one hand this structure here is a landmark in our city and especially for our downtown community and location. But really it’s the programs and performances that happen here that really enrich our lives and increase the quality of our lives and also provide a significantly economic benefit to our city and out state," Petersen says.

Peterson has worked in the corporate world for the last 25 years and he's looking forward to a change.
