Inside KELOLAND Special: Remarkable Women
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – Remarkable Women is a nationwide initiative led by KELOLAND's parent company Nexstar Media Group.
This year, KELOLAND TV is proud to have two local winners. Since our viewing area covers both the Sioux Falls and Rapid City television markets, we selected a winner from east river and west river.
Jill Janecke and Abby Martinez were chosen as this year's Remarkable Women of KELOLAND. They were nominated by people who know them and see the incredible impact they are having on the world around them.
As part of the honor, Nexstar awarded a $1,000 donation to the non-profit of their choice.
Martinez and Janecke will also travel to Los Angeles later this month for Nexstar's national Remarkable Women conference, where they'll represent South Dakota.
The 2025 Remarkable Woman of the Year will be announced during a one-hour special airing on The CW Network. Watch Sunday, April 20th at 8:00 P.M. Central time.
This year's local winners were just two of dozens of women nominated across KELOLAND.
KELOLAND Media Group received a total of 89 nominations from across our viewing area. We met up with a few of those nominees to share their stories.
