• Gov. George S. Mickelson appointed Roberts as commissioner of the state Bureau of Personnel in 1989, and she stayed in that position during the administration of Gov. Walter Dale Miller. When Janklow became governor again, she was his chief of operations from 1995 to 2003. Gov. Mike Rounds then appointed Roberts as labor secretary in 2003.
