Girls thrive in Girl Scouts. It is a safe space where girls can be
unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise
to meet new challenges. Adults within the Movement are their champions
and advocates, especially as members of our Girl Scouts of the Desert
Southwest Board of Directors.
Directors use their
professional expertise and personal perspectives to collectively
advance Girls Scouts to anticipate by providing governance oversight,
assisting in the development of the strategic vision, and actively
supporting fundraising efforts. As for governance volunteers,
directors represent our membership and reflect its diversity,
including geographic, racial/ethnic, gender, age, and socio-economic.
Board members are elected by the full Delegate Assembly.
