Girl Scouts of Central Texas celebrates women who have distinguished themselves as outstanding members of their community through individual excellence and high levels of achievement.  This year, five women and one business in the Brownwood Area will be honored by the Girl Scouts at their annual Women of Distinction Luncheon on March 28th at Howard Payne University.

This year’s honorees include Jan Cate, Lynn Humeniuk, Janette Chesser, Vella Rae Pallette, and Alice Terrell Starbird.   These women were nominated and selected because they are persons of importance and influence who have made significant contributions to their communities, have a direct and powerful impact on those with whom they have been associated, and are current or former residents of the counties served by Girl Scouts of Central Texas in the Brownwood Area (which includes Brown, Coleman, Comanche, Erath, Hamilton, Lampasas, McCulloch, Mills and San Saba Counties).

In addition, the Chatfield will also be honored this year as a workplace that supports women in the area.

Past recipients have included women honored for excellence in the areas of business, education, government, communications, health care, sports, volunteer services, multicultural activities, and Girl Scouting.  To honor women throughout its 46-county jurisdiction, Girl Scouts of Central Texas hosts four Women of Distinction events, including the one in Brownwood.

Tickets for the event are on sale and available online HERE.
