Marianne Duvendack — North Region — Little Turtle Girl Scout
Leadership Experience & North Region Honor Guard Director
Marianne organizes the North Region Honor Guard, open to all
Girl Scouts and service units within the North Region. Marianne
teaches flag etiquette and helps the girls practice their flag
ceremony skills. She coordinates when the girls participate in
parades, sporting events, community events, Girl Scout events, and
wherever an opportunity arises for a flag ceremony. She really goes
above and beyond to provide a great opportunity for the girls in the
Honor Guard and to increase positive visibility of Girl Scouting in
northwest Ohio. We are so grateful for Marianne!
Carrie Heisele — Central Region — Service Unit 342 — Finance Chair
Carrie juggles many positions: troop leader and service unit
finance chair. She worked diligently with the newly-appointed service
unit manager to get the bank account transferred and held discussions
with members of previous leadership to ensure a smooth transition.
Along with her responsibilities, Carrie volunteered at a recruitment
event and was a great resource for interested girls and caregivers.
Carrie's hard work and dedication to her community and Girl Scouts is
greatly appreciated. Her service unit is so lucky to have her step
into this necessary role!
Stephanie Fenwick — South Region — Troop 4246 — Troop Leader
Stephanie is a fantastic troop co-leader! She stands out with
her fabulous planning skills and long-term dedication to the troop.
She helps with everything from cookies, events, meetings, organizing
money-earning opportunities, and camps. Stephanie also made sure all
of the girls in the troop were given an opportunity to volunteer at
the Animal Welfare League. She truly does it all!
