Awards
Adults receive recognition for their many contributions such as time, talent, or financial resources. Length of service or the number of other recognitions does not judge the quality of accomplishments. Recognition is ultimately a function of impact, direct or indirect, on girls. Adult awards include a wide range of development opportunities and programs. Adults can earn the Leadership Development Pin or Diversity Award. They may be recognized with awards such as Outstanding Leader, Outstanding Volunteer, Appreciation Pin, Honor Pin, Thanks Badge, Special Supporters, or Marion Chester Read awards. These awards will be recorded for all registered adult members.
