Congratulations to Girl Scouts of Colorado CEO Leanna Clark and Gold Award Girl Scout Morgaine Wilkins-Dean for being recognized by the Denver Business Journal as outstanding leaders. The Denver Business Journal has honored a Gold Award Girl Scout as a Future Outstanding Woman in Business at this ceremony for the past three years in a collaborative effort to raise awareness of the amazing work Girl Scouts do through earning Highest Awards. The Gold Award is the highest award in Girl Scouts and is earned only by a high school aged Girl Scout who addresses an issue she is passionate about in a way that produces meaningful and lasting change on a local, national, and/or global level. Morgaine's Gold Award project involved a yearlong effort to educate families about Colorado Safe Storage laws to reduce gun violence at schools. In addition, this year Girl Scouts of Colorado CEO Leanna Clark is among the 26 Outstanding Women in Business honorees at the 25th anniversary of the Outstanding Women in Business event. Leanna has been leading Girl Scouts of Colorado since 2020. During her time here, she has grown programming for girls, including mental wellbeing programming and STEM programming through her community partner connections, led transformational change at the national level by opening the first Girl Scout DreamLab here in Denver, and has helped to diversify revenue streams for the organization by helping to double growth in personal and corporate giving to Girl Scouts of Colorado.
