About the Women of Distinction Awards
The annual Girl Scouts of North East Ohio (GSNEO) Women of
Distinction Luncheon was established in 2012 to celebrate and
recognize women in northeast Ohio who go above and beyond to make our
communities better places to live, work, and raise a family. GSNEO’s
Women of Distinction embody the core values of Girl Scouts and provide
girls with positive role models.
In 2014, the Advancing Women Award was added to honor organizations demonstrating strong commitment to advancing women in the workplace. In 2015, three annual Leaders of Tomorrow scholarships were added to recognize GSNEO Girl Scouts who display exceptional promise to become tomorrow’s leaders.
Funds raised by the Women of Distinction Awards Event benefit Girl Scouts of North East Ohio scholarships and financial aid for girls in need. These funds are designated for programs, uniforms, books, camp, and membership fees for girls throughout our 18-county footprint.
