the 2011-2012 PR Team
Girls age 5-17 with bright personalities are needed to help represent our organization throughout its 21-county jurisdiction as part of the council's Public Relations (PR) Team. Are you interested in telling others in your community how great Girl Scouts is? If so, applications for the 2011-2012 PR Team will be accepted beginning July 15 through August 15. Current members of the PR Team do not need to re-apply (to check your PR Team status, contact Stephanie Finleon). Applicants for the PR Team should be articulate, outgoing, willing to be called with very short notice, and have access to transportation to and from events. Girls with musical talent (e.g., singing, piano, etc.) are also encouraged to apply. To apply, a parent/guardian must complete the 2011-2012 PR Team Application, available online through August 15. Applications received after the deadline will not be considered until the next membership year.  Following the application deadline, girls and their parent/guardian will be contacted for a short photo shoot and mock interview. Questions can be directed to Stephanie Finleon, Chief Communications Officer (210-349-2404/1-800-580-7247 ext. 230).
