The Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles honored Princess Cruises President Jan Swartz as a 2015 Woman of Distinction at the organization's annual ToGetHerThere luncheon on November 5, which celebrates female leadership and is meant to inspire Emerging Leaders – high school Girl Scouts who are making a difference in their communities.
Addressing more than 600 high school Girl Scouts, Swartz offered advice and shared her own story of selling cookies as a young Brownie in her home state of Texas - her first successful business experience.
Swartz also participated in a mentoring session with the participating Girl Scouts to offer guidance and answer questions about her career path.
The event is part of a national effort by Girl Scouts to address the confidence gaps today’s girls face, the Girl Scouts said.
