Founded in 1918, we are the only association in South Dakota who represents those in the petroleum and propane business exclusively. The association represents mom and pop stations, bulk fuels, wholesalers, ancillary businesses that support the owners and operators, pipelines and oil companies. Our Motto, “ An organization serving its members by coordinating their common interests through group effort,” reflects the commitment to all members. SDP₂MA is your voice in Pierre, SD and Washington, DC. The petroleum, propane convenience marketing industries are the most regulated industries and SDP₂MA lobbies year-round to protect your interest. SDP₂MA also works closely with National Propane Gas Association (NPGA) and National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) on national issues affecting our industry.

Our Motto, “ An organization serving its members by coordinating their common interests through group effort,” reflects the commitment to all members.

Dawna Leitzke, Executive Director, has been the voice of the association for 23 years.

The SDP2MA Board of Directors represent each segment of the industry and are located throughout the state of South Dakota. These 12 volunteers work hard to represent the best interests of the entire industry.

We offer many services to members including an endorsed insurance company (Federated Insurance Company), Certified Employee Training Program for the propane industry, Underground Storage Tank (UST) Owner/Operator Training for all entities in the state of South Dakota who operate USTs, regulatory and legislative updates on both the state and federal level, an annual convention and Petro Expo, lobbying efforts on both the state and federal level, personal response to members questions and concerns, and many other benefits to members and those in the petroleum and propane business.

For a minimal amount, you gain a full time employee who will provide you with relevant and timely information to assist you in keeping your business up to date and in compliance on a state and federal level.
