Welcome

Meridith Maskara
Chief Executive Officer
Girl Scouts of Greater New York
“Welcome to our 2020 Virtual Women of Distinction (WOD) Celebration! This year, we are celebrating the leadership of powerful women and girls through a full week of virtual experiences and events. In this moment, the vision we’re all working toward together is a New York City in which every girl feels empowered to lead in her community, the workplace and the world. Through this year’s virtual WOD Celebration week, we intentionally recognize the diverse leadership of our city among our extraordinary honorees, members of our Legacy Leaders Circle, and the Girl Scout who has earned the Future Woman of Distinction Award. I am thrilled to celebrate these influential women who have exemplified the leadership ideals found in Girl Scouting and who serve as role models for all of New York City’s girls and young women.”
