Girl Scouts will honor local leaders and role models at the Annual Women of Distinction and Community Partners Gala. While men and women equally share low-to-mid management roles in the United States, upper management positions remain dominated by men with fewer than a quarter of Fortune 500 companies led by women and only approximately 15 percent of executive and board positions at those same companies filled by women. This generation of future female leaders is expected to improve those statistics, leading the way for greater gender equality for senior management positions. For that to occur, young girls must have strong, successful role models with persistence and dedication to show them what’s possible.

The Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore will honor seven of these outstanding role models who are leading the way at its annual Women of Distinction & Community Partners Gala, sponsored by Investors Bank, on Friday, March 3, at Eagle Oaks Country Club in Farmingdale.

In addition to honoring four outstanding Women of Distinction, the Girl Scouts will continue to honor additional role models, including a Junior Woman of Distinction, a community partner and a Man Enough to be a Girl Scout member of the year.
