As the world continues to change, Girl Scouts of all ages have demonstrated that helping others has never been more relevant—or important—than it is today. No matter the challenge, Girl Scouts have shown up in unprecedented ways to keep the bonds between sisterhood and charitable work strong.
Smart Cookies: Stand for More offers a virtual 1-hour celebration for the leadership, compassion, and resilience our Girls Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana (GCNWI) members and champions have displayed while facing – and transforming – the once-in-a-generation issues that have shaped 2020.
Smart Cookies is also a community call to action to support today’s girls in standing for themselves, others, and their communities through purpose, service, and civic engagement.
At Smart Cookies, you will hear from some of our 2020 Tribute to Achievement honorees as they engage with our Girl Scouts in “Smart Cookies Conversations.” Kathy Scherer, Managing Partner, Business Tax Services at Deloitte, who was also this year’s Girl Scout’s Own honoree will be featured as well as our Luminary honoree, Lei Zhang Schlitz, Executive Vice President, Automotive OEM of Illinois Tool Works Inc.
Together, we can lift girls’ voices and amplify their actions. Girl Scouts are resilient leaders-– Smart Cookies will showcase how they’ve thrived, and what impact they’ll spark in the months and years ahead.
Join us in the celebration: register today! Admission is free and open to all members and donors of GCNWI!
