This year as our campaign season launches, we are so grateful for 11 years of amazing leaders taking part in the program. Our mindset is centered around ensuring the opportunity is available for 11 MORE years and beyond. From Day one, the mission of Leadership South Dakota has been to connect with, and further develop leaders from every corner of the state.
To foster this diversity of voices and participants in the Leadership South Dakota program, the need for scholarships in our program continues to be critical. Knowing this, the focus of the annual giving campaign is to increase scholarship funds in order to live out our mission and build for the next generation of SD leaders.
Just like last year, funds raised in this campaign will be utilized for these 3 key areas:
-
Scholarships for course participants (40%)
-
Travel and lodging stipends for course participants (40%)
-
Alumni activities (20%)
The dollars raised in our 2023 giving campaign helped support all eight students who requested tuition and/or travel assistance scholarships have their requests fulfilled in this year's Leadership SD Class of 2025.
Because of your gift, eight leaders from around South Dakota were able to participate in this program without hesitation.
Thank you for your continued support!
