I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

Building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.

On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

This year marks the 110th anniversary of Girl Scouts. That is 110 years of girls breaking down barriers, accomplishing their goals and tackling issues in their communities. But our girls would not aspire to chase their dreams and make the world a better place without the guidance and support of female mentors and role models throughout their journeys.

Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania’s 2022 Women of Distinction Celebration identifies five women of influence who serve as inspirational figures for girls and young women. These women are members of our local communities and represent the core values we instill in girls through Girl Scouts.

We are so excited to recognize the legacy of Marion Nivert as this year’s recipient of the GSHPA Generational Award. This award celebrates those who have lived by and shared the values of Girl Scouts with their community and future generations.

GSHPA will also recognize four outstanding women who each embody a pillar of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. The honorees include Dr. Pamela Gunter-Smith, President of York College, as our STEM honoree; Ms. Kim Lemon, former Senior Anchor for WGAL-8, as our Life Skills honoree; Mrs. Betsy Hamm, CEO of Duck Donuts, as our Entrepreneurship honoree; and Ms. Shannon Gority, owner and principal consultant for Raindrop to River Consulting, as our Outdoors honoree. You will get the chance to learn about each of these inspiring women during this evening’s program.

Your attendance at tonight’s celebration supports and uplifts girls in your local communities. We invite you to fully embrace the experience of tonight’s program. Connect with other Girl Scout champions. Enjoy our silent and live auction with the knowledge that your additional support helps to build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world better. And don’t forget to enjoy a s’more by the fire pit before you leave!

Thank you so much for joining us to celebrate the influential women in our communities now, and support the future female leaders of tomorrow.

The emcee for our Women of Distinction program is Lori Burkholder, co-anchor of WGAL News 8, which airs every weekday evening at 6 p.m.

Lori started at WGAL in 1989 and has held many positions over the years. She hosted and produced “Susquehanna People,” a weekly public affairs program, hosted and produced “12:30 Live” for its entire 10-year run, anchored for “News 8 at Noon” and “News 8 Today” and reported for the evening news.

Lori has won several Emmy’s and AP awards and reports on a variety of issues. She’s gotten to work on special projects such as the Olympic Games of 2006 and 2008. She reported from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, gave viewers an inside look at death row, reported from the aircraft of the 193rd Special Operations Wing and went one-on-one with that other morning news team in New York, “The Today Show.”

Lori has interviewed politicians both nationally and locally as well as celebrities, but her favorite stories are the ones that happen in our communities and affect people in their daily lives.

When not covering the news, Lori spends time speaking at many events, enjoys running, renovating her 18th century home and serving on the PTO Board at her children’s school. Lori grew up in Dauphin County and graduated from Millersville University with a journalism degree. Lori is married to Jeff with whom she has two children, a daughter, Taylor, and a son, Tommy.

We are excited to welcome Carley Furlow as our guest speaker. Carley, a Harrisburg resident, is a Girl Scout Gold Award honoree with a passion and drive for entrepreneurship.

Carley’s 2020 Gold Award project addressed the issue of food deserts in urban areas, specifically in Harrisburg. By creating garden boxes and educational materials, Carley’s project expanded access to fresh healthy food for their families.

She currently is a fashion designer, creating sustainable clothing. Most of her pieces are made out of everyday household items!

In addition to fashion design, Carley also launched her second business, Sharps and Flats, which makes assistive Medical Devices for musicians. These devices are currently patent pending. Carley also is a member of the Colonial Park Rotary Club and is currently the club’s Public Relations Chair.

Congratulations

for being honored as a Woman of Distinction by the Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania. You are a champion of women in STEM careers, a true leader in our community, and an inspiration to girls and women in our region.

We’d also like to extend our congratulations to the other three women recognized for their outstanding accomplishments.

President Pamela Gunter-Smith

The Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE), the foundation of the Girl Scout program, features a variety of fun, challenging and experiential activities rooted in four program pillars:

• Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)

• Outdoors

• Life Skills

• Entrepreneurship

GSLE gives girls the opportunity to be challenged by choice and learn how to take action to positively impact their communities and even the world. Through GSLE, girls are encouraged to follow their own lead, learn by doing, and learn cooperatively with their fellow Girl Scouts to grow together and support each other along the journey.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world. Our Girl Scouts in central and northeast Pennsylvania are savvy marketers and leaders who use the skills they learn in the Cookie Program to reach big goals. Today’s girls are already thinking like entrepreneurs. They possess many traits we know are linked to entrepreneurial success and are socially conscious problem-solvers. When it comes to future careers, girls care about gaining gender parity, having financial stability and being able to use their talents to make an impact.

Life Skills encompass a wide variety of topics and activities, including civic engagement, healthy living and communication skills. Girl Scouting particularly impacts girls’ abilities to step outside their comfort zones, manage healthy relationships and be civically engaged in their communities. Girl Scouts are more likely than non-Girl Scouts to take an active role in decision making, learn by working cooperatively with others and participate in hands-on activities that engage them in an ongoing cycle of action and reflection.

For 110 years, girls have discovered, explored and strengthened their outdoor skills and commitment to environmental stewardship through Girl Scouting. Guided by supportive adults and peers, Girl Scouts discover the wonders of nature, experience the thrill of adventure and challenge themselves and one another to reach new heights. Girl Scouts’ national outdoor programming features a variety of fun, challenging and experiential activities that empower girls as they develop attitudes, skills and behaviors essential to effective leadership in the outdoors.

STEM encompasses the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The hands-on and inquiry-based nature of STEM disciplines make them a natural fit with GSLE, and GSUSA’s evaluation research shows that Girl Scout STEM programs rely significantly on these practices and consider them important program components.

Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania is excited to recognize Pamela Gunter-Smith Ph.D, president of York College, as its STEM honoree for the 2022 Women of Distinction Celebration.

Gunter-Smith has served as president of the college since 2013 and will complete her decade-long tenure when she retires from her role in June 2023. As president, she has advanced programs that serve the greater York community and provided high impact engagement and learning for the college’s students.

“I take great pride in contributing to the successful outcomes of my students,”

Gunter-Smith said. “As I have moved forward in administration, I have done so with a consideration of using my role to have a greater impact on those in the campus community and York region.”

Before Gunter-Smith forged her path in academic leadership, she began her career in science. At just five years old, Gunter-Smith knew she wanted to be a scientist and was interested in learning about human anatomy. Her interests led her to Spelman College where she received her bachelor’s degree in biology, and then Emory University where she earned her docorate in physiology.

Throughout her STEM journey, Gunter-Smith found inspiration in many mentors. She sought out individuals with attributes she wanted to improve in herself or would prove useful to have in her skillset. But her most important mentor came right from her own family.

“My mother was a trailblazer – she was the first woman of color to receive a doctorate in her field from her institution. From her, I learned how to navigate both a career and family,” Gunter-Smith said.

Along with pursuing her science-related interests as a girl, Gunter-Smith also participated in Girl Scouts. Her favorite memory from her Girl Scout experience was camping as both a camper and counselor.

“I still remember the campfire song, ‘Rise Up O Flame.’ I hum it when we have an evening fire in our fire pit at home,” Gunter-Smith said.

For Gunter-Smith today, Girl Scouting means building the skills and attributes that contribute to developing women leaders, including self-confidence, risk taking, learning, and exploring. She encourages girls to take every opportunity to explore what they are passionate about and stay excited to learn. “Yes…girls and women can do science and math! Be confident about what you know and what you want to learn. And sit in the front of the room and raise your hand!”

Gunter-Smith currently resides in York County. She is active in her community by serving as a board member for Central Region Board of Directors of WellSpan, York County Industrial Development Authority, and Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania. She is also a member of the Better York Executive Committee and Pennsylva nia State Board of Education, and serves as president of the William Townsend Porter Foundation. Gunter-Smith is married to J. Lawrence Smith and together they have two sons, Lealand and Philip.

Giving back is good for everyone.

Our community’s nonprofits do work that truly matters and we support their efforts. Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania is one such organization that serves from the heart and makes a real difference in the lives of our neighbors. At Traditions Bank, we believe in giving back too. It makes our community stronger and each of us better.

UGI Congratulates the “Women of Distinction”

UGI is proud to join in the celebration of the 2022 Women of Distinction as selected by the Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania. At UGI, we recognize the importance of supporting and empowering women in their careers and their lives.

Putting words into action, UGI’s Women Impact Network (WIN) fosters an environment for women to be recruited, retained, developed and advanced as leaders.

Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania is excited to recognize Betsy Hamm, CEO of Duck Donuts, as its entrepreneuship honoree for the 2022 Women of Distinction Celebration.

Hamm gained 15 years of marketing experience at Hershey Entertainment & Resorts before joining Duck Donuts as its marketing director. She was later promoted to Chief Operating Officer and then Chief Executive Officer of the renowned donut company.

As CEO, Hamm oversees the overall direction of the company and leads the development of long- and short-term goals and strategic initiatives.

“I wouldn’t have dreamed that I would be CEO of an international donut franchise!

Marketing is all about growth and ultimately that is what I am passionate about,” Hamm said of her career journey.

With natural strengths in marketing, Hamm pursued a bachelor’s degree in communications/journalism and a master’s degree in business administration from Shippensburg University. Hamm also gained knowledge and benefitted from the support of a few key mentors. She said mentorship is important in any field of work and critical to personal growth.

“A good mentor provides accountability and motivation. In addition, a mentor does more than guide you – they cheer for you, often when you need it most,” Hamm said.

Building relationships, connecting with people, learning how to listen, and being willing to provide perspective in a productive way are skills she has developed and used to find success throughout her career.

According to Hamm, these skills align closely with what Girl Scouts teaches girls.

“Girl Scouts is a wonderful organization that teaches our youth the importance of relationships, connecting, leadership and citizenship. The focus on these key skills for young girls is critical to help strengthen our future leaders,” Hamm said.

For girls interested in pursuing a career in entrepreneurship or business, Hamm said connections, communication, internships and networking are valuable tools to finding success.

“You may think you know where you are going, but stay open to future and different possibilities!”

Hamm lives in Dauphin County. In addition to her leadership at Duck Donuts, she is active in the community by serving on the Board of Directors for The Salvation Army Harrisburg Capital City Region, Harrisburg’s Capital Region Economic Development Corporation and Central Penn College.

“I will be the treasurer of a great club on campus called WiSE (Women in Science and Engineering) that hosts amazing events to support the women of York College Engineering. Not only is it a great support group, but it’s an environment where women can feel accepted in a maledominated major.”

Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania is excited to recognize Kim Lemon, former senior anchor at WGAL-8, as its life skills honoree for the 2022 Women of Distinction Celebration.

Lemon joined WGAL-8 in 1979 and was the station’s most tenured employee until she retired in 2021. Her 42-year career saw her earn a dozen Mid-Atlantic Emmy Awards, including Best Host, and to be named to the prestigious Silver Circle Society of Emmy award-winning journalists.

Lemon’s successful career in media probably came as no surprise to her peers at Manheim Township Middle School in Lancaster County who grew up with a young Lemon delivering their school news.

“When I was in seventh grade, I read the morning announcements on closed circuit television. I was hooked and knew right then what I wanted to do!” Lemon said.

As a young girl, Lemon not only discovered her strengths in public speaking and media, but her passion for Girl Scouts. She was first exposed to Girl Scouts as a Brownie, and it was the first time she encountered a program designed to empower and encourage young girls. Lemon has since continued her Girl Scout experience as a Lifetime Member, hoping to set an example

for young girls and other women. “It’s crucial for those of us with established careers and families to hold our lives up as proof of what is possible in life,” Lemon said of her responsibility as a Lifetime Member. Lemon values the concept of mentorship, and said it was critical in the newsroom.

Inspired by her own mentors, her late mother Shirley Lemon and her middle school teacher Joan Billet, she hopes she has been able to provide guidance to other young women throughout their journeys.

“I think I know what it means to work hard and establish yourself, and to stay hopeful and kind. I also know what it means to lift up fellow female co-workers. There is room at the top for each of us.”

Lemon currently resides in Lancaster County. She has helped support her community by raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network, The Salvation Army, The Silent Samaritans, and The Extraordinary Give. She is an active voice for families struggling through dementia, and is the care partner and advocate for her husband John who was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia. They are parents to two children, Meg and Morgan.

Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania is excited to recognize Shannon Gority, owner and principal consultant for Raindrop to River Consulting, as its outdoors honoree for the 2022 Women of Distinction Celebration.

Gority has years of experience working for clean water in Pennsylvania, having served as the first CEO of Capital Region Water, and most recently, as executive officer of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Pennsylvania office. She said her heart for public service, problem-solving brain, and love of nature led her to pursue degrees in civil and environmental engineering from Juniata College and Penn State University.

“When I learned that I could help people and the environment in a sustainable way, I had no question that environmental engineering

“I have seen the positive impact Girl Scouts has made on my nieces and recognize the attributes in my mother and grandmother developed through their time scouting. They all have a zest for learning and helping others,” Gority said.

While Gority focused on engineering to make an impact in her field, she said a career in environmental science can come in many different forms. She believes environmental sciences are critical to the future of our planet and humanity, and encourages individuals to look into various avenues to join the cause.

“A career in environmental science doesn’t need to be math or science focused. It could be psychology or sociology to better communicate problems and solutions; political science or law to advocate for the environment; history to understand past failures and successes; or education to inspire the next generation of environmental heroes.”

Gority resides in Dauphin County. She lives steps away from the Susquehanna River where she enjoys boating with her daughter.

Pennsylvania is honored to recognize the legacy of Marion Nivert as this year’s recipient of the Generational Award at the 2022 Women of Distinction Celebration.

This award celebrates those who have lived by and shared the values of Girl Scouts with their community and future generations. As a former Girl Scout troop leader who made Girl Scouting a family affair, Marion is a prime example of the power one individual can have in spreading the Girl Scout mission.

Marion embodied Girl Scout principles not only as a troop leader, but in the way she lived her life and raised her daughters Doris Stamper, Leslie Manning, and Amy Williams.

Marion’s family could not afford to send her to college when she finished high school during the Great Depression, but she persevered toward her dream of getting an education and earned her college degree in the 1960s. Marion stressed the importance of women needing their own careers and raised her daughters to be independent. Marion brought her passion for female empowerment to Girl Scouts as a troop leader where she connected with many girls. She was always interested in helping girls become more knowledgeable about their religion and was instrumental in helping girls earn their Menorah Award, her daughters said. She acted as her daughter’s troop leader during their time as Girl Scouts.

“I remember a troop camping trip in May waking up to snow. I could tell how stressed mom was but she worked hard not to let the others see. She was a true leader,” Williams said.

Marion’s daughters shared they all loved being in Girl Scouts. They learned a lot from the badge work they completed and also had fun earning them. Camping was also a favored activity and brings fond memories for the sisters today. “Summer Camp was absolutely the highlight of my summers,” Stamper said. “The Girl Scout troop was a community. We each went to camp

Marion’s husband, Harry Nivert, was also involved in Girl Scouts as a board member. The sisters recounted their father delighted in talking about being on the cookie-tasting committee to select the flavors the troops would sell.

In 1971, Barbara Weinberg married Lou Nivert, Marion and Harry Nivert’s son. Their children became involved in Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, and Barbara was an active volunteer. She remembers the pride felt by Marion and Harry when they visited the Nivert Pavilion for the first time at Camp Archbald in Susquehanna County. The pavilion was a gift from the family to the camp — the second oldest Girl Scout camp in the nation.

“We drove them up (to camp) to see it. They stood there with smiles on their faces. It was just a beautiful sight. They were thrilled to be there,” Barbara said.

Many years, grandchildren and great-grandchildren later, the love of Girl Scouts Marion instilled in her family is still present today. The Niverts continued camping trips for several years, sharing the tradition and Camp Archbald experience with Marion’s granddaughters. Manning followed in Marion’s footsteps to serve as a Girl Scout troop leader for many years, from Brownies to Seniors, and especially loved taking girls camping. And today, some of Marion’s great-granddaughters are now Girl Scouts.

“I think she would say it was all fun,” Stamper said of how Marion would have responded to receiving the Generational Award. “Our mother was so special and loving and giving. She was always happy to help others, and did a lot for the Temple and the community, as well as Girl Scouting. It made her feel good to help Girl Scouts and others.”

Girl Scouts held a special place for Marion, Barbara said.

“The Niverts were a scouting family, and Marion just loved the Girl Scouts. She loved the organization,” Barbara said. “That was in her heart; that was Marion Nivert.”
