Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida 2027 Emerald Awards Palm Beach Nomination Form

Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida 2027 Emerald Awards Palm Beach Nomination Form
The Emerald Awards Palm Beach honors women who exemplify leadership and serve as role models for young women in our community. Four awards will be given to women who embody the characteristics of today’s women leaders. An Emerald Awards honoree is recognized as a woman who brings new ideas to life, demonstrates creative problem-solving, and brings innovation to her field of expertise or community. She has positive values, a strong sense of self, seeks challenges, learns from setbacks, and is not afraid to shatter the glass ceiling. She recognizes the potential for leadership in every girl, inspires those around her to take action, and drives change in her community.

In addition, a Lifetime Achievement Award for Philanthropy will be given to a woman who demonstrates outstanding civic and charitable support. The Lifetime Achievement Award will highlight a woman whose generosity is evident through the considerable personal time and financial support she dedicates to programs and organizations that contribute to the well-being of our community. She embodies the spirit of giving in all aspects of her personal and professional life and strives to leave a legacy of philanthropy for future generations.

The Emerald Awards luncheon will take place on Friday, April 30, 2027, at Four Seasons Palm Beach.
