The Women of Distinction Luncheon is a unique opportunity to recognize and celebrate women who have made special contributions to their community through civic, church, academic, or professional involvement. GSNCA invites you to nominate an extraordinary woman to be considered for this award. Nominees should have a personal record of community involvement, successful career, and be a positive role model for past, current, and future Girl Scouts.

Proceeds from the Women of Distinction Luncheon directly support the Girl Scouts’ mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
