The Board of Directors

Our board guides the council, approves budgets, hires the executive director and provides leadership, making decisions that help us meet our goal of serving every girl, everywhere so that no girl who wants to be a Girl Scout will be turned away. The Board's job is to help the council thrive so that the council can help girls grow strong!
