For more than a decade, the Women of Distinction luncheon benefitting Girl Scouts Heart of the South has served to recognize and link 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.
Since 2011, Girl Scouts Heart of the South has been pleased to present the Women of Distinction luncheon event in the Lafayette-Oxford-University area, and more than 100 women have been honored.
We look forward to carrying on this tradition and honoring more Women of Distinction for many years to come!
