Girl Scouts Honors Women of Distinction
Special to The Truth
Girl Scouts of Western Ohio announced the 2014 Women of
Distinction award recipients:
• Dr. Anne Ruch, MD - SewHope, Inc.
• Martha Vetter – R/P Marketing Public Relations and
Chicks for Charity
• Cecelia M. Adams, Ph.D – Toledo Board of Education
• Mary Ellen Mazey, Ph.D – Bowling Green State

The Girl Scouts Women of Distinction Awards honor
exceptional women who have made significant contributions in
five key areas: Healthy Living; Financial Empowerment;
Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math;
Leadership; and Community Responsibility. Women are selected
by a committee of their peers because of the difference they
make in the community that impacts the future of girls.
Recipients exemplify the Girl Scout mission by living with
courage, confidence, and character, and making the world a
better place.
“By honoring women that make significant contributions in
these key areas, we are creating pathways for today’s girls
to become tomorrow’s leaders,” said Erin McPartland, major
gifts officer for Girl Scouts of Western Ohio, “For girls to
succeed in a leadership role, they need to know there are
women paving the way who open doors, create opportunities,
and cheer them on. These women offer hope and inspiration.
They’re positive role models for the next generation.” |
