from the ceo & president Dear Sisters and Brothers in Girl Scouting, March 12 marked the 99th anniversary of Girl Scouting in the United States.

When Girl Scouts was founded in 1912, it was as an organization devoted to the leadership of girls; as we bridge from the first 100 years to the next century, we will continue to build girls of courage, confidence and character who will lead today and in the future.

As we reflect on the previous year, there are many highlights to note:

njnj Girls continue to be our greatest joy and greatest purpose. This year, 15 Girl Scouts earned Gold Awards; 147 earned a Silver Award; and 337 achieved a Bronze Award. njnj The FBI honored GSACPC and its Girl Scouts Beyond Bars Adelante Jovencitas program with the FBI Director’s Community Service Award. Barb Strachan accepted the award on the Council’s behalf during a ceremony, in March in Washington, D.C. njnj We are in the process of an ambitious fundraising project that will allow us to expand our programs and engage in the much-needed renovation of Camp Sombrero. You will also shortly see an exciting, new public relations approach designed to raise the profile of Girl Scouting in Arizona. njnj This year’s A Girl’s World is Different conference on the prevention of Human Sex Trafficking of Minors was highly acclaimed by the professionals who participated, and attracted approximately 200 to the day-long event.

We have deep and abiding gratitude for the work of our Girl Scouts, Troop Leaders, Adult Volunteers and members of the Board and Board Committees.

Thank you for your focus, attention to detail, and commitment to the success of our girls.

With this annual meeting, Maria Carpenter Ort completes her service as Chair of the GSACPC Board of Directors. Her graceful leadership has become the hallmark of her term; the legacy of her time as Chair will be felt for generations.

Also with this annual meeting, we welcome Margaret Serrano-Foster as she begins her service as our new Chair. Her leadership will be critical as we engage this important time of transformation.

Nearly 100 years ago, Juliette Low and a group of girls in Savannah believed in all that girls can do and will become. Please accept our thanks for your steady and heartfelt commitment to making that belief a reality.

With deep respect,

Tamara Woodbury
