Golden Triangle Region

The Women of Distinction luncheon benefiting Girl Scouts Heart of the South recognizes and links together groups of purpose-driven women in business, government and philanthropy throughout our council region who, like Girl Scouts, are dedicated to service and leadership.

Women are nominated for their leadership, community contributions and professional accomplishments. Nominees are positive role models whose accomplishments inspire girls to achieve their own goals and dreams.
