On January 9th, nine volunteers from the Coral Springs Chapter of the American Business Women’s Association (ABWA) headed north to Boynton Beach to present three dynamic Badge sessions for our Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors at Cookie Entrepreneur. Only two were former Troop Leaders for their own daughters. These female business leaders jumped into the GSUSA Badge requirements to pull out an incredibly interactive day for 34 girls, that taught them life skills, and will take their cookie businesses to new heights. Session work included job (or college) interview skills, resume writing, customer relations, portfolio building and effective and proactive communication skills. Thank you to these hands-on volunteers who made GSSEF older girl program amazing!
