Women of Distinction
Celebrating women who inspire today's Girl Scouts to become tomorrow's leaders.
Each fall, in honor of Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low's birthday, Girl Scouts of Greater New York hosts the Women of Distinction benefit.
A Woman of Distinction is a role model, an influential leader in their industry and community, and someone who, through their deeds and actions, exemplifies the leadership ideals inherent in Girl Scouting.

“The Girl Scout mission to make the world a better place and
promote inclusivity inspired my work and gave me a platform to
advocate for the Deaf and hard of hearing community. My advocacy has
not only improved accessibility for these individuals but has also
raised awareness about the challenges they face."
- Sarah Lin, 2024 Future Woman of Distinction
