Lincoln Rotary Club 14 recognized Rhonda Seacrest as the 2023 Nebraskan of the Year in April. Rhonda Seacrest grew up in North Platte, NE. The work ethic and culture of a rural, pioneer town helped set her character and focus. Hard work is part of being in Nebraska. There were pioneers that traveled on and there were those who stayed. You do a thing because it needs doing. You see a problem and you solve it. These are among Rhonda’s guiding tenets. Many years ago, Rhonda found a passion for supporting children and youth in our communities, investing in backpack and shelter programs, acknowledging that hungry children find it difficult to grow and learn. In that same vein, she is committed to the arts, “because they build ideas and vision for the future, “while inspiring children and helping them fuel their minds.
