Taryn Sietsema

Updated May 5, 2025

Taryn Sietsema brings nearly two decades of nonprofit leadership experience to DTSF. Over the past 18 years, she has served in key roles across several Sioux Falls organizations, most recently as Executive Director of Mosaic (formerly the Museum of Visual Materials). Taryn is passionate about creating authentic connections and supporting vibrant, people-focused communities—making her a natural fit for Downtown Sioux Falls.

Outside of the office, Taryn can often be found power walking, running, trying out the latest downtown eats, or cheering on her beloved Minnesota Gophers. She and her husband Ben share their home with three energetic pugs, and she’s especially excited for frequent trips to Seattle as her son Evyn begins his next chapter after graduating from the Carlson School of Management.

What Taryn loves most about downtown Sioux Falls is the incredible people, the thriving local business scene, and the timeless charm of its historic architecture.
