• PIERRE, S.D. - Dave Enke of Platte was honored with the South Dakota Parks and Recreation Association's (SDPRA) Professional Service Award at a recent conference in Huron.
• Enke has worked for the South Dakota State park system for almost 30 years. He began as assistant park manager at West Whitlock Recreation Area in 1983. He served as park manager at Newton Hills State Park near Canton for 15 years, and has been district park supervisor at Snake Creek Recreation Area since 1996.
• In presenting the award, Department of Game, Fish and Parks Regional Park Supervisor Jeff Van Meeteren commended Enke's leadership and his influence on young park managers.
• "Dave's quiet confidence is demonstrated in the respect that many younger managers hold for him," said Van Meeteren. "I know that years later many of them still make comments about what they learned from Dave."
• Enke has demonstrated a commitment to service in both his career as a GFP park manager and as an active participant in his local community of Platte and the Great Lakes Tourism Association, Van Meeteren said.
• "Snake Creek is a very important tourism feature for the Platte area," he said. " Because of that, Dave has embraced his role and developed a great working relationship with his local community and the regional area."
• SDPRA's Professional Service Award is given annually to an individual who is a leader in the field by being active in SDPRA as well as local and regional organizations.
