GIRL SCOUTS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA CEO TO RETIRE
Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania Chief Executive Officer Patricia A. Burkart has announced her retirement, effective this June.
Burkart was named CEO in 2007, when the council was formed through a merger of five western Pennsylvania councils— including Keystone Tall Trees, where she previously served as CEO.
Burkart has been a dedicated and passionate leader in the Girl Scout movement for 23 years. Prior to her executive roles, she served in a variety of capacities in social services supporting individuals with special needs.
“ I am grateful for Pat’ s leadership and her commitment to the Girl Scout mission,” said Nicole King Yohe, chair of the board of directors.“ Her impact isn’ t measured in years, but in the tens of thousands of girls who experienced the amazing benefits of Girl Scouting during her tenure. Girls were her top priority in every strategy and decision.”
GREAT PYRENEES CLUB OF WESTERN PA TO HOST CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT
The Great Pyrenees Club of Western PA will host its annual golf tournament on Aug. 31 at Edgewood Country Club, bringing together golfers, local businesses and animal lovers to support the rescue’ s mission of saving and rehoming large-breed dogs throughout the region.
The fundraiser helps provide medical care, foster support and second chances for dogs in need. One recent success story is Porche, a mother dog who was abandoned along with her 6-day-old puppies. Only one pup, Lambo, survived, but thanks to the rescue’ s efforts, both received care, were placed in a loving foster home and ultimately found their forever family.
Stories like this highlight the impact of the organization’ s work and the importance of community support to continue rescuing dogs and giving them a new beginning. n
