Governance
The Girl Scouts of Nassau County Council is governed through policies set by its elected Board of Directors, and operations are carried out by 60+ staff members and nearly 6,000 volunteers! The Board of Directors rotates on a bi-annual basis so that some members are elected each year by the voting members at the council’s Annual Meeting.
The voting members which consist of the Board of Directors, the Board Development Committee, the Association Delegates, and Past Presidents of the Board of Directors, vote at the Annual Meeting to elect the Board of Directors, the Board Development Committee, National Council Delegates, and Alternates. In addition, the voting members vote on any proposed revisions to the Council By-Laws and Articles of Incorporation.
If you or someone you know is interested in serving GSNC, please submit referrals to the BDC using the Referral to GSNC's Board of Directors or Board Development Committee Form.
