Board giving reached 100%.
Fundraising events had significant sponsorship increases. Attendance increased by
16% and revenue increased by 63% over the previous year.
The GSOSW Alumnae Association coordinated a community service project to allow
homeowners with chained pets the opportunity to have a fenced yard. Outreach to
communicate with alumnae through events and online eNews have continued.
Membership
Council-wide we increased the Migrant Education Program from 7 sites serving 622
new girls in 2009-2010 to 17 sites serving 1,332 new girls in 2010-2011. We increased
our Hispanic girl membership by 28% in 2010-2011.
Defying national trends for the third year in a row, our membership has grown.
GSOSW has seen a 3.6% increase in girl members and a 3% increase in adults for an
overall 3.4% increase in total membership.
Purchased GSUSA branding kits as presentation materials for school district,
community partners and volunteer outreach to the business community.
Branding kits have been used in presentations resulting in partnerships with new
school districts.
Completed translation of Volunteer Essentials and Council Volunteer Policies and
Procedures. CPR/First Aid classes were offered in Spanish.
Tools were shared through service team trainings, newsletters and webinars to help
service teams recognize volunteers throughout the year. Three new council level
adult recognitions were developed for implementation in 2011-2012
Program
Information about all of the pathways is being delivered through multiple messages in
the Program Guide, training materials and webinars.
A new service team position was created this year, the GSLE Coach. The goal of this
position is to coach leaders on implementing the Girl Scout Leadership Experience
and understanding the pathways.
Webinars were developed and delivered to volunteers this summer giving them a
sneak peek at The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting and how it works with the rest of the
National Program Portfolio.
Staff have continued to evaluate and update programs to include more GSLE
outcomes and to facilitate progression. An example of a program following this model
is the new Digital Media Studio program. This program has multiple curricula that
build upon each other into a great digital experience for girls.
We have a unified way of managing program partners through our program partner
application.
