Girl Scouts CEO, Ginny Hill, Discusses Unifying Women in Leadership at New Jersey’s Largest Women’s Business Conference

NJBIA hosted its 9th annual New Jersey Women Business Leaders Forum at the Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott last week.

Cherry Hill, New Jersey (October 4, 2023)- The New Jersey Business & Industry Association (NJBIA) hosted its 9th annual New Jersey Women Business Leaders Forum last week, with an unmistakable focus on empowerment, symbolizing a unified stride toward fostering women's leadership and shattering glass ceilings. 

This forum stands as a significant platform, bringing together large corporations, entrepreneurs, not-for-profits, and students to spark inspiration and establish an actionable agenda to enhance diversity within corporate leadership, paving the way for successful business enterprises.   

A notable highlight of the event is the inclusion of Ginny Hill, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jersey, as a featured panelist, discussing "Is Confidence A Dirty Word?"  Ginny's tenure as the leader of an organization dedicated to empowering and developing young girls places her in a unique position to offer valuable insights into nurturing an inclusive professional culture.  

"As women, when we break the glass ceiling, it's important to turn back around and offer a hand up to other women - help them build their self-confidence and sponsor them so they get opportunities, especially women of color who get fewer opportunities," Ginny passionately expressed, becoming the voice for many women who are looking for a path to the executive suite.  

The New Jersey Women Business Leaders Forum, powered by NJBIA, remains the largest professional women's conference in New Jersey, with a legacy of over 3,000 attendees. The event caters to individuals at different stages of their careers, allowing attendees to delve into a well of knowledge, networking, and nurturing discussions.  

Ginny Hill's involvement as a panelist underscored the continuous efforts by thought leaders to transition diversity and opportunities from mere slogans to actionable goals. Ginny shared with the audience that "Girl Scouts' mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character. Confidence comes from building up your competencies and managing your fear."  At Girl Scouts, there are ample opportunities to build competencies and test your fears!   

Further, Ginny's involvement in forums, such as the NJ Women Business Leaders Forum, highlights the importance of collaboration to elevate awareness and to create change. These discussions go beyond the forum and inspire change in traditional norms, empowering aspiring female professionals and pushing organizations toward better leadership.
