TAKE THE LEAD

LEAD WITH COURAGE, CONFIDENCE & CHARACTER

WHAT IS TAKE THE LEAD?

Take the Lead is the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania’s signature fundraising event honoring our community’s most distinguished women whose leadership and professional achievements make the world a better place. Girl Scouts of all ages produce this unique leadership program and develop the skills necessary to become the future leaders of tomorrow. A true highlight of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, Take the Lead enables girls to forge long-lasting, valuable mentorships with honorees and connect directly with their community.

TAKE THE LEAD 2019 SHADOW DAY SPOTLIGHT: REGINA & JAMI WINTZ MCKEON

Regina is a Girl Scout with ambition, and her drive to reach her goals led her to apply for a Presenter role at Take the Lead. Selected Presenters are paired with one of the four Take the Lead honorees, who are honored for their leadership and achievement. Regina was selected and paired with Jami Wintz McKeon (Chair, Morgan Lewis), who she shadowed during their day together. With Regina's interest in becoming a lawyer, this couldn’t have been a more perfect match. Regina met many woman lawyers during her shadow day and learned about the endless opportunities in the field. Perhaps the biggest takeaway for Regina was gaining a mentor.

Since Take the Lead, she has heard from and kept in touch with countless lawyers from Morgan Lewis, including Jami, who have expressed their interest in helping her reach her goals. In addition, she was invited to sit at Jami’s table for the highly regarded Paradigm Awards, at which Jami was being recognized.

Through Take the Lead, Regina gained a valuable mentor in Jami and was able to share her story in front of over 500 guests on Take the Lead event night. She closed her speech that night with advice from Jami, saying “work hard, learn the law, be kind to one another, and make sure your work-life values everything you are.”
