“We are so excited to expand our Girl Scout community with the development of GSEM’s Young Professional Association,” said Amber Overton, Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer. “YPA is a unique opportunity to not only give back, but also to gain essential development throughout one’s own professional journey.
