2013 State of the Council
Remarks from the Annual Meeting
[Adapted from remarks by Board Chair Allison Ochoa at the Annual Meeting on April 6, 2013. Allison Ochoa served as Board Chair from 2007 to 2013. At the Annual Meeting Arnold Hudspeth took over the position as GSKH Board Chair.]
On behalf of the board of directors, I am pleased to report that Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland is in a great position to take Girl Scouting into the next century. We are financially sound, making great strides in staying relevant to girls today, and building our leaders of tomorrow. Today, and as we look to the future, it is also important to honor our rich history. This past year was spent celebrating the traditions and trailblazing of Girl Scouts throughout the last 100 years.
