Message from the
President
Dear friends and members of
Girl Scouts of Central Illinois,
It has been an honor and pleasure to
serve the membership, volunteers, and
staff of Girl Scouts of Central Illinois
as your board chair for the past two
years. Little did I know when I first
became a Girl Scout board member in
1994 what opportunities and
experiences I would have, and all the
people I would meet and friends I
would make not only within our
council but across the United States.
While we are thrilled with where we are after two years as
Girl Scouts of Central Illinois, there is always work to do
and improvements to be made. We must constantly
measure, evaluate, and change to meet the needs of and stay
on pace with the girls and the volunteers who support and
deliver our program. We are particularly proud of our ability
to meet these needs and strive continuously to improve.
I would like to personally thank the board, board committee
members, staff, leaders, and girls of our council for the
opportunity to help as best as I could – with the help of every
one of you. The GSCI Board Development Committee and
Board of Directors will continue to help you in our collective
mission to develop girls of courage, confidence, and character.
I look forward to serving the council in other ways going
forward. Thank you all.
Sincerely,
Sharon Riechers
