Join us in celebrating trailblazing leaders—past, present, and future—who are making a difference and inspiring the next generation of changemakers. Through this luncheon, we’ll highlight the transformative impact Girl Scouting has on girls’ lives and recognize those who illuminate the path for them to lead with courage, confidence, and character.

11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Memphis Botanic Garden
We're honored to welcome an outstanding panel of community leaders:
- Rose Jackson Flenorl, Global Citizenship Manager, FedEx Corporation
- Shante Avant, President & CEO, Women's Foundation for a Greater Memphis
- Ann Marie Watkins Wallace Peoples, System Community Outreach Coordinator, Baptist Memorial Health Care
Together, with moderator Zaneta Lowe from WREG-TV, they will discuss what the State of the Girl findings mean for our community and, more importantly, what we can do—together—to ensure every girl has the opportunity to thrive.
Inspired by Girl Scouts of the USA's 2026 State of the Girl report, this year's theme—Helping Girls Find Their Power Within —is a call to action for all of us. The research reminds us that girls are ambitious and resilient, yet too many struggle with confidence, loneliness, and a lack of opportunity. The good news is that when girls are surrounded by caring adults, meaningful experiences, and strong communities, everything changes
