Call for 2012 Women Who Serve West Alabama

Event Part of Girl Scouts 100th Anniversary 

The Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama (GSNCA) is now accepting nominations for the 2012 Women Who Serve West Alabama. Nominations are open to all women in Bibb, Fayette, Greene, Hale, Hamilton, Lamar, Marengo, Perry, Pickens, Sumter or Tuscaloosa counties who have made significant contributions in the aftermath of the April 2011 tornadoes. We are honoring women who served in the relief efforts and made a difference in the lives of the survivors and well-being of the community.

Nominations may be submitted by any individual, employer, civic organization or agency in West Alabama. Selection of awardees will be in December by a group of community leaders from across our Council.

Women chosen for this award will be recognized at the Women Who Serve West Alabama event in May. GSNCA will also present the Karen LaMoreaux Bryan Lifetime Achievement Award to a woman who has demonstrated a lifelong dedication to making the world a better place through service to her community. Prior affiliation with Girl Scouts is not required.

Application forms are available online at www.girlscoutsnca.org/womenwhoserve. The deadline for nominations is November 21, 2011. Girl Scouts has a history of honoring women who make the world a better place and hope you will join us as we recognize Women Who Serve.

For more information, please contact Leah Beth Downs at 800-734-4541 x1030 or ldowns@girlscoutsnca.org.
