New Council Headquarters Location Set

After reviewing the demographics of the new council's jurisdiction, the CRC voted to select the Portland metropolitan area as the location for our new council's headquarters. Action on the specific location, as well as where satellite offices will be located, will be taken at a later date. The Properties Subcommittee of the CRC will be meeting in February and March to review additional information in order to make final recommendations to the CRC.

Next CRC Meeting

The next meeting of the CRC is scheduled for Saturday, February 23, 2008. There will be several items on the agenda on which the group will take action. Look for the next issue of the Council Realignment Newsletter in your in-box shortly after February 23 with all the latest from the meeting!

Time to Think Delegates for the GSUSA National Council Session

GSUSA will be holding its triennial national council session in Indiana, IN on October 30 - November 2, 2008. Since our realignment process will not be completed until October 1, each of the current councils will be responsible for electing their own council delegates to the meeting. Girl Scouts of Santiam Council will be allowed two delegates. The council nominating committee will be seeking nominations of individuals who are interested in serving either as a delegate or as an alternate to the national council session. These positions will be elected at the council's annual meeting on Saturday, May 17. Please contact the council service center if you would like to receive an application packet when they are ready.
