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.

We are pleased to announce this year's Leading Women of Distinction honorees:

• Mai Donohue, Author/Educator
• Daniela Abbott, Principal Engineer-Abbott Naval Architects
• Alexandra Curtis, RI National Guard, Former Miss Rhode Island
• Deborah Ricci, Director of Business Operations, Carousel Industries
• Rep. Teresa Tanzi, Representative, Rhode Island State House

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.
