The Linda Rabe Women in Leadership Scholarship Award was established by Elevate Rapid City in honor of Linda Rabe, former President and CEO of the Rapid City Area Chamber of Commerce. Linda spent over thirty years with the Chamber, was the first female to serve as its chief executive, and broke barriers for other women in leadership throughout her career. Her dedication and commitment to bringing more women into leadership positions in the Black Hills continues to inspire to this day.
This scholarship will be awarded to a select woman, going through the Elevate Leadership Institute, who shows potential as a current or future community leader and who demonstrates passion, integrity, and a commitment to the mission of Elevate Rapid City — Elevate the Rapid City region for everyone.
