RENO, Nev. — Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada is seeking nominations to honor six extraordinary women across Northern Nevada for the organization’s 16th annual “TRIUMPHANT: Celebrating Women in Leadership Awards.”
According to Girl Scouts, six women will be recognized at this year’s awards in six categories representing the focus areas of Girl Scouts:
• Entrepreneurship

“Nominees are to demonstrate initiative, integrity and leadership characteristics, but are not required to have been a Girl Scout,” according to a statement provided by Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada. “Nominees must live or work in Northern Nevada or northeastern California. They should exemplify extraordinary civic, professional and/or philanthropic commitment and achievement, and be a role model for girls.”
