Then , of course , the big 2017 G . I . R . L . Convention in Columbus — which was AMAZING ! Our national delegates made us all very proud , working through LONG days of GSUSA business and voting on serious mission related issues . This was also our platform to shine as a Council and formally announce Orlando as the home of G . I . R . L . 2020 !!! We did this in the most fun and dramatic way possible , of course ! We proved we know how to bring the party along with the good work , therefore known in some Girl Scout circles as doing it Citrus Style . Not too long after Columbus , I shipped off to New York to meetings with GSUSA and to serve as a CEO Thought Leader in training the Movement ’ s newest Council CEOs .
The whirlwind was capped off with a little business , but mostly lots of laughs , on the high seas with 46 of our alum / adult members for our Second Annual Citrus Council Alumnae Cruise . Our next cruise is being planned for the summer of 2019 and we hope to see you there ! So there you have it , the VERY nutshell version of your CEO ’ s adventures in representing the BEST ( and most Scouterrific ) Council in the U . S . A .!! Thank you for allowing me the privilege to serve alongside such a dynamic group of girls , volunteers , and staff !
