LEADING LADIES OF DISTINCTION AWARDS HONOREES

Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England Reveals Names

of the 2019 Leading Women of Distinction Awards Honorees

 

[Warwick, RI]– Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England (GSSNE) is thrilled to announce that the 2019 Leading Women of Distinction Awards will be held at the distinctive Radisson Hotel in Warwick, RI on Thursday, October 17th from 8:00am-9:30am.

The 2019 Leading Women of Distinction Honorees listed below emulate the Girl Scout G.I.R.L. spirit of Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker and Leader throughout their careers and serve as inspiring examples for the young girls in our communities. This year’s honorees are:

  • Cindy Scibetta Butts, Founder, Grow with Strengths
  • MaryKay Koreivo, Senior VP & Senior Relationship Manager, Bank of America
  • Kathleen Malin, VP of Technology & Operations Management, Rhode Island Foundation
  • Sylvia Maxfield, Dean & Professor Providence College School of Business.

GSSNE CEO Pam Hyland, stated, “The Girl Scout Movement started with the voice of our founder Juliette Gordon Low. Juliette was driven by the belief that girls needed a special all-girl environment where they could discover their own voice, and use it to strengthen their communities. Our 2019 Leading Women of Distinction honorees emulate the importance of this legacy and they are strong, female role models who utilize their leadership skills to make our community a better place.”

Since 2015, the GSSNE Leading Women of Distinction Honorees have been a direct reflection of what Girl Scouting stands for—they are both impressive and inspiring. GSSNE hopes that through positive, girl-led, girl-centric experiences and exposure to strong, female role models, all girls are able to thrive in the direction of their ambitions and lead lives full of courage, confidence, and character.
