About SDP2MA

Welcome to the South Dakota Petroleum and Propane Marketers Association. Proudly representing the Petroleum, Propane and Convenience Store Industry for 106 years. 

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.

Leadership

Dawna Leitzke, Executive Director, has been the voice of the association for 29 years. The SDP2MA Board of Directors represents each segment of the industry and is located throughout the state of South Dakota. These twelve volunteers work hard to represent the best interests of the entire industry.
