As an organization dedicated to helping young girls grow strong in courage, confidence and character, the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore feels it is vital to recognize adult leaders who demonstrate these qualities in their everyday lives.

Through Women of Achievement, the council honors role models in southern Ocean County whose contributions to the community, both professionally and personally, lead to a better quality of life.

The first Women of Achievement event took place in 1999. Every year since then, the event has honored professionals who serve as exceptional role models for young women in their community. We thank all of these award recipients for being their and supporting today's girls as they become strong, confident women.
