Scouts of the USA National Board Chair, Patricia Dias-Dennis (brunette) and

GS convention by sharing their leadership stories. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

15,000 Girl Scouts will engage in a series of large-scale
conversations, to which all members are invited: Open Space on Successful
Council Practices, Appreciative StorySharing, Stewardship Report Cafe
Conversations, Self-organizing for Success, and Action
Commitment sessions. We've been thinking about this project as <em><span
