GSSNE Board of Directors
As a volunteer organization, Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England has a volunteer Board of Directors composed of community leaders and professionals. The combined expertise of these community members provides leadership to the council by establishing the policies and bylaws that guide us.
These governance volunteers have the responsibility of strategic planning, fund development, financial oversight, appointment of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and are Girl Scout ambassadors to our council. They are chosen by the Board Development Committee and elected by the voting members of the council each year at our Annual Meeting.
For the 2025-2027 term, GSSNE is looking to fill two (2) Board of Directors positions. To learn more and nominate yourself or someone you know, check out the nomination form.
