Rihm Family Companies received the Business Champion Award from the Dakota-Scott County Workforce Development Board.  The award is presented to an outstanding company that uses CareerForce services such as job fairs, job postings or training.

Rihm participated in four virtual hiring events this year, with multiple on-site events pre-COVID.  Rihm is also a business champion in other ways, including their work with youth.  They were a site for the educator bus tour in 2019 and they're also a key partner with an area school district mentoring students, offering internships and providing on-site visits for youth.

"It is truly an honor to receive this recognition," said Rihm President & CEO Kari Rihm.  "It's been our pleasure to work with young students through the Tri-District program to show them what happens at a truck dealership.  The trucking industry is an essential industry and we are proud to be part of it."
