Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2022 Leading Women of Distinction Awards Ceremony, and to those who supported the event but were unable to attend!
We thank our honorees, Kristin Anastasiades, Elizabeth Burke Bryant, Sarah Courtemanche, Adriana Dawson, Alisha Pina, and Maria Rivera for the outstanding commitment and contributions they have made. All are amazing women in our community and have made a significant, positive impact in an impressive array of fields. These honorees represent diversity of leadership in the community and beyond, and promote inclusion and opportunity for girls and women. This group of inspiring women serve as exemplary role models for the leaders of tomorrow.
A highlight of the event was our guest speaker, Gold Award recipient, Marykate Tillinghast, who shared her Girl Scout experience. Marykate showed us that Girl Scouts creates extraordinary leaders, with the confidence, values, skills, and courage to make the world a better place.
Many attendees have inquired about ways to engage with GSSNE moving forward. Here are some examples:
- Engage youth! Spread the word of Girl Scouting, especially as we expand into communities traditionally underserved by the Movement. Jordan Donofrio, our Senior Manager of Membership, would love to speak with you! Reach out at jdonofrio@gssne.org.
- Consider volunteering as a troop leader! Time commitment is flexible and joy is unlimited. Contact GSSNE Customer Care at CustomerCare@gssne.org to learn more.
- We are currently selling commemorative bricks that will form a walkway at Camp Hoffman, visit gssne.org/endowments. Gifts to our 100-year-old camp allow us to continue to provide one-of-a-kind outdoor experiences to Girl Scouts in our communities for generations to come.
...AND DONATE! Visit gssne.org/donate to make your investment now.
We would also like to thank our generous event sponsors. Through everyone's support, we were able to raise approximately $31,000 through this event!
We recorded the awards ceremony and will be posting it when the video is ready. We have also shared highlights from the event on our Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok accounts!
