Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois is governed by a volunteer board of directors composed of a diverse group of community members, women and men, who believe in the value of Girl Scouting and the program's ability to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

Board members are selected for their commitment to improving the lives of girls as well as their leadership, volunteer and nonprofit experience, and knowledge of the community. They are elected by the voting members of the Council. Board members can serve up to two three-year terms.

Board members represent our membership and reflect its diversity, including geographic, racial/ethnic, gender, age and socio-economic. The role of the Board of Directors is one of governance. Their responsibilities include strategic planning, fund development, appointment of the Executive Director, financial oversight, and interaction with the community. 

Questions, comments, or referrals for Board of Directors can be directed to Ashley Green-Bryant at agreen-bryant@gsofsi.org.

Girl Scout Experience Fund Committee toggle arrow

The Girl Scout Experience Fund Committee has been established in order to distribute funds as defined by the board of directors from the Girl Scout Experience Quasi-Endowment Fund. The fund was established by the board of directors as a result of sales of camps owned by the Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSofSI) Council.   

The GSofSI board of directors will provide the committee with a total amount to be granted each fiscal year. Girls from the GSofSI Council will complete a grant request explaining the use of the requested funds and submit it to this committee for review and a decision.

The Girl Scout Experience Fund Committee shall:

  • Make decisions related to the distribution of board-allocated funds from the Girl Scout Experience Quasi-Endowment Fund to girls from the Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois for GSofSI approved activities
  • Meet on a regular basis to review and make decisions on grant applications/request
  • Make a recommendation to the GSofSI board of directors on how excess funds not distributed to girls should be used in any given fiscal year
