Hi, all! I hope things are going great with everyone.
I pass on just a few Girl Scout tidbits today.
Reposting. THIS IS THE LAST DAY TO FILL THIS OUT! FOR ALL VOLUNTEERS AND GIRLS. From the CEO Search Committee.
"CEO Survey (Response Due by September 30, 2016)
As the Girl Scouts CEO Search Committee moves forward to help identify the best leader to serve our Movement as the next National CEO, we want to hear from you.
Please take a few minutes to fill out the attached survey (link is noted below) and give your input on the qualities that you believe are most important in our next leader and the challenges and opportunities that this leader will face over the next 2-5 years.
Please pass this survey along to your volunteers, parents or girls who you think would be most interested in providing input. The survey is due by September 30.
Thank you again for your commitment to Girl Scouts and for all that you do to ensure that Juliette Gordon Low’s vision continues on to the next generation of girls.
