The opportunity to serve in a leadership position will ensure that South Dakota initiatives are highlighted across the country.” Over the last two years, Gant has served as Co-Chairman of three NASS committees, Elections, Business Services, and Voter Participation. As treasurer of NASS, Gant will be a member of the executive committee and serve as President of the organization in 2015. Gant will become the second Secretary of State from South Dakota to lead NASS. “Secretaries of State are the officials to promote good government as chief elections officers and corporate filing entities in our respective states. I look forward to an active leadership role in addressing the many national issues NASS will face in the coming year and ensuring that South Dakota has a seat at the table." Gant stated. NASS was founded in 1904; NASS is the oldest, nonpartisan professional organization of public officials in the U.S. Members includes the 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa and Puerto Rico. NASS serves as a medium for the exchange of information between states and fosters cooperation in the development of public policy.
