Sylvia Holmes Attending
Girl Scout Seminar
Sylvia L. Holmes of Kings
Mountain, Executive Director,
at Pioneer Girl Scout Council in
Gastonia is attending a 12-day
seminar in corporate manage
ment designed for chief ex
ecutive officers of Girl Scout
councils which began June 7 in
Wakefield, Mass.
In addition to executive direc
tors of 62 Girl Scout councils,
Mrs. Holmes is joining 19
members of the national Girl
Scout Staff from various areas
within the organization, and
nine potential candidates for ex
ecutive directors; jobs who will
participate as part of Girl Scouts
of the U.S.S. “pipline project.”
The seminar is the third in a
series sponsored by Girl Scouts
of the U.S.A. and conducted by
management experts from Har
vard University. The team is
headed by Dr. Regina Herzl-
inge', professor of business ad
ministration and co-author of
“Management Control of Non
profit Organizations.”
DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors of
Foote Mineral Company this
week declared a dividend of 15
cents per share on the company’s
common stock payable June
30th to shareholders of record at
the close of business on June 16.
Foote paid a year-end dividend
on the common stock in the
amount of 20 cents per share in
1980. A dividend of 10 cents per
share was paid in June 1980.
The training is designed to
provide knowledge of the most
recent developments in such
areas as finance, marketing, per
sonnel and production manage
ment, organizational and
nterpersonal behavior, and
policies and tactics. All par
ticipants are engaging in ac
tivities which stimulate the
development of additional
management skills and techni
ques.
Most Girl Scout chief ex
ecutive officers are women,
many of whom have had years
of practical experience. In many
ways, their tasks are more dif
ficult than those of counterparts
in private industry. Chief ex
ecutive officers of Girl Scout
councils must first deliberate
about changes in values, in
demography and in the
economy; they must be
thoroughly familiar with the
laws, orders and regulations
governing a changing work
force, and they must combine
sound business practices with
their task of meeting the needs of
;{irls.
This seminar for which par
ticipants will receive 4.5 continu
ing education units (CEUs) is
part of the Girl Scout’s overall
training program for volunteers
and professional staff members
totting 570,000 nationwide.
Training that the organization
provides for troop leaders and
other volunteers constitutes one
of the world’s largest adult
educational programs.
