SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — After 11 years, the Chief Executive Officer of Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia (GSHG) announced her decision to retire on Tuesday.
“It has been an incredible honor to serve as the CEO of Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia,” said Else.
“Over the years, I have been inspired by the passion, resilience, and achievements of our Girl
Scouts, volunteers, and staff. While this chapter is coming to a close, I will always cherish the
memories we have made together. I look forward to seeing the council continue to grow and
thrive in the years ahead.”
Under Else’s leadership, GSHG has accomplished several key initiatives like the launch of the council’s first Girl Scout DreamLabs in 2024, the opening of the state-of-the-art GIRL Center in Savannah in 2021, preserving strong membership even in the challenging aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and strengthening the council’s financial stability, an official with the GSHG said.
“We are grateful for Sue’s contributions to Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia,” said Jeff Wilson, chair
of the GSHG Board of Directors. “Her vision, passion, and commitment to our mission have
strengthened our council and inspired countless girls and volunteers. While we will miss her
leadership, we celebrate Sue’s legacy and wish her the very best.”
To celebrate Else’s tenure, she will be honored at GSHG’s annual Legacy of Leadership breakfast in Savannah on May 14, 2025. The annual fundraising event is open to the public.
