Leading Women Awards
Leading Women Awards
Recognizing leaders who serve as exemplary role models for today's Girl Scouts.
On March 20, we were pleased to honor three amazing Leading Women who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, resilience, and commitment in their communities. The event guests enjoyed a dynamic fireside chat facilitated by Sue O’Connell, commentator at NBC10 Boston, as each distinguished guest shared remarkable stories from their experiences as leaders in their communities. As one of Boston's premier leadership recognition events for women, the Leading Women Awards has celebrated the outstanding contributions of women in eastern Massachusetts for over 33 years.
