At GSSNE, we believe it is important to consistently showcase strong, influential women and set positive examples for today's girls.  By sharing the successes and pathways these female leaders have taken to get where they are today, girls are able to see firsthand that their dreams and aspirations are attainable.

Our 2017 honorees are: Suzanne Fogarty, Head of School, Lincoln School; Joan Johnson-Freese, PhD., Professor, NSA, Naval War College; Susan Keller, Founder/CEO, Entrepreneurial Executives, LLC; Kati Machtley, Co-Founder & Director of the Women's Summit, Bryant University;  Cheryl A. Merchant, President & CEO, Hope Global.

These women are a direct reflection of what Girl Scouting stands for, they are impressive and inspiring.  We hope that all girls are able to thrive in the direction of their ambitions and lead lives full of courage, confidence and character.

We are also pleased to share that Neil D. Steinberg, President & CEO of the Rhode Island Foundation will be a guest speaker at our LWA Awards breakfast!
