What does it take to be a female leader in today’s society?

On Tuesday, March 8, members of Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana and the local McDonald’s Women Owners/Operators Network gathered to discuss leadership and entrepreneurship on International Women’s Day.

“I think that it’s important to be able to show who you are and really be able to work up and do what you want,” said Brandiline Hoover, a 17-year-old Girl Scout Ambassador who also moderated the panel Q&A.

Christine Lott, a local McDonald’s owner/operator, agreed.

“Young girls need role models and I think that they need to know that there is a place they can aspire to and they can continue to grow and they can be successful,” she said.
