Nominations Open for Leading Women of Distinction Honor
Warwick, RI (May 27, 2020)– Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England (GSSNE) is excited to announce that the nominations for 2020 Leading Women of Distinction Awards are now open. Anyone can nominate a woman who exemplifies the Girl Scout mission of building girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place; women who demonstrate qualities of leadership and excellence in their life in whatever way you know them. Leading Women of Distinction Honorees are exemplary female role-models for the next generation who 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.
The LWD selection committee will consider nominations of women who have contributed to the community through professional, family, volunteerism and/or personal endeavors. You do not need to be a Girl Scout in order to qualify.
GSSNE CEO Pam Hyland, stated, “The Girl Scout Movement started with the conviction and voice of our founder Juliette Gordon Low. Juliette believed that girls needed a special all-girl environment where they could not only discover their voice, but use it to strengthen their communities. Each of our 2020 Leading Women of Distinction honorees knows the importance of Juliette’s legacy and they are wonderful role models who utilize their leadership skills to make our community a much 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 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.
