2020 Volunteer Awards Spotlight on awardees: The GSEP Award, the highest council-level award, is presented to a volunteer who has served ten years or more with a commitment that is remarkable and of extraordinary service to the entire council community. Membership Year 2019’s recipient was Bridget Davis. Bridget is the leader of six troops at Ms. Carol’s School of Dance. She is also a Service Unit Delegate and a member of GSEP’s Communications Focus Group. One of her nominators said it best:

“I have watched my daughter transform into an outgoing, bubbly personality because of Bridget telling her, ‘I have confidence in her, she can do it!’ Bridget has been right every time.” This year, we recognized Bethlehem Friendship Service Unit with the CEO Award. This award recognizes the efforts of Service Units achieving full engagement in the areas of service, learning and growth. Bethlehem

Friendship Service Unit achieved 114% of their girl membership goal, which is 90 girls over goal! Their commitment to service was demonstrated through various service unit-wide service projects, including sock collections, Meals on Wheels, and collecting donations for a local food bank. Our incredible Keynote Speakers were Andrea Agnew and Giavanna Plaza. Andrea is the Executive Director of Change Management in Comcast Corporation’s Total Rewards organization. Andrea has extensive experience in Diversity and Inclusion, and is a role model for unifying people and processes. Giavanna “Gia” is a former GSEP Girl Scout attending Pace University in Manhattan. She had been a Girl Scout for 9 years and has earned her Girl Scout Silver Award and completed her Girl Scout Gold Award.
