Cynthia Breuning - Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council

This is the most powerful learning community for taking strategic leadership to the next level. By utilizing what I’m learning, we now serve 29% more girls, having expanded our Girl Scouts Beyond Bars program to include incarcerated girls, caregivers and foster youth; and, we have a more engaged board and higher-quality, more stable staff and volunteers.

I love the amazing community of people involved with the City Scholars® Fellowship for Education.  I look forward to each session knowing that I get to network with these individuals, brainstorm and come back with new ideas. The energy in the room is huge.
