In other news, I'm attending the MN Council of Nonprofits Annual Conference this week.  I'm so excited to learn everything I can about the MN nonprofit landscape and best practices.  It won't hurt to do a little networking either!  Another step in making The Center for Girls' Leadership a reality!

Real Girls, Real Leadership: 10.4.11

Each day, real girls are being real leaders.  Get inspired by their stories:

  • MaryAnn, 12, and her cousin Sam were honored as heroes for saving the life of a six-year-old girl who nearly drowned in an apartment pool.   MaryAnn only learned to swim a year ago.
  • Brianna, 18, kicked the winning field goal for her high school's football team, moments after being crowned homecoming queen.  The kick was her personal best.
