Lincoln Smith

District II

I grew up on a ranch between Philip and Wall. I graduated from Philip High School in 2008 and attended Northern State University in Aberdeen, where I played
four years of football and earned two bachelor’s degrees in business management and marketing in 2012.

I returned to the Philip area with my wife, Ella, where I have ranched and farmed for the last 13 years. Over that period, I have held a position on several boards including the local Farm Bureau Board, Haakon County Weed and Pest Board, and Haakon County Board of Commissioners. Ella and I love raising three beautiful children in our rural community. I enjoy spending time with family
and friends, working on the ranch, and golfing.

I am running for the Golden West District II Director position. John Knutson introduced me to the importance of Golden West and their board. Through phone, internet, and television, it is hard to imagine families and businesses without Golden West's services. Golden West has been a key factor in keeping my family and everyone I know connected in our area. I would be honored to be elected to join the Board of Directors and serve the members of this great cooperative. I am excited to see what the future of Golden West brings to our community.
