Thank You for Joining Us at Annual Meeting
Over 175 GSCP2P volunteers, girls, staff and board members attended the 2024 Annual Meeting in Greensboro on Saturday. The weekend kicked off Friday evening at Keyauwee Program Center in Sophia with STEM and Equestrian activities, a gourmet s’mores bar and a ribbon cutting for the brand-new Wake Robin Troop House.
On Saturday, the Delegate Assembly hosted Mayor Nancy Vaughan, Mayor of Greensboro, and GSUSA National Board Member, Vidya Krishnan, who welcomed the group with words of encouragement for our work in STEM and who challenged us to create and execute a bold vision for the future. The Delegate Assembly reviewed the 2023 Annual Report and voted to elect six new adult board members (serving three-year terms) and, for the first time as GSCP2P, two girl board members (serving a one-year term).
New Board Members are:
- Molly Gross- Catawba County
- Julie Haydin- Burke County
- Sara Marshall- Henderson County
- L. Doris Patrick- Guilford County
- Caryl Sinfield- Guilford County
- Dedra Tindall- Transylvania County
Girl Board Members are:
- Alexandra Heavener – Gaston County
- Willa Stoutner – Guilford County
During Roundtable Discussion, attendees also used the GSCP2P Who We Serve statement to catalyze strategic discussion about the vision of the council. The statement, co-created by staff, volunteers, girls and community members over the past 18 months and approved as council policy in March 2024 by the GSCP2P Board of Directors, is an articulation of how we do business every day and reflects the aspiration of who girls want and expect us to be. The statement addresses key aspects of diversity, equity and inclusion, including race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status and varying ability. It also aligns GSCP2P with GSUSA policy and with the national constitution and bylaws.
The day concluded with our annual Adult Recognitions Ceremony where the council awarded years of service and membership year pins and 27 adult members with national board-approved awards. We were also honored to present Freda Mayse with the 2024 GSCP2P Juliette Gordon Low Lifetime Achievement Award recognizing Freda’s 65+ years of dedication to the Girl Scout Movement. Enjoy this video celebrating Freda!
Please save the date for next year’s Annual Meeting, to be held April 26, 2025, at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC.
