Meet Katie MacIntyre! ⭐️ A lifetime Girl Scout, she serves on our GSNYPENN Board of Directors because giving back to the community is important to her. She does this by volunteering her time, energy and skills to our mission. Katie began her Girl Scout leadership journey as a youth member and has been part of our council on and off since 2007! She previously served as a non-board member on the Board Development Committee (BDC) of our legacy council, Seven Lakes. She rejoined the GSNYPENN Board about a decade ago. She currently chairs our BDC and serves as 2nd Vice Chair. Her volunteerism with Girl Scouts also aligns with her employer, National Grid, which encourages all employees to share their time and talents with non-profit organizations in the communities they live, work and play. We can’t thank you enough for your dedication to our mission, Katie! 💚
