  • 2019 Gold Medal Ceremony Program Book
    The seals on the cover represent the two sides of The Congressional Award Medal. The Capitol Dome is surrounded by 50 stars, representing the states of the Union, and is bordered by the words, “Congressional Award.” Bordering the eagle are the words that best define the qualities found in those who have earned this honor, “Initiative – Service – Achievement” The Congressional Award Public Law 96-114, The Congressional Award Act 2019 Gold Medal Ceremony The Congress of the United States United States Capitol Washington, D.C. It is my honor and privilege to applaud the achievements of the recipients of the 2019 Congressional Award Gold Medal. These outstanding 538 young Americans have challenged themselves and made lasting contributions to local communities across this great nation. This is our largest class of Gold Medalists to date! The Gold Medal Ceremony is the culmination of a long journey for our awardees. For each participant the journey was unique, but one that likely included many highs and lows. The Congressional Award program was designed to instill a wide range of life skills and attributes that are necessary to navigate and overcome obstacles on the path to success - both in the classroom and beyond. And now that each young person has met these challenges and attained their goals, we hope they will continue to amaze and inspire us by pursuing their passions, utilizing their talents, and demonstrating an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to extend our great appreciation to our partner organizations and sponsors for their continued support.

  • Lisa Hardin-Reynolds Was Appointed As Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Girl Scouts of Utah (GSU) in March 2019
    Lisa Hardin-Reynolds was appointed as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Girl Scouts of Utah (GSU) in March 2019. Girl Scouting in Utah started in 1920 in Ogden and the first troops registered in Salt Lake City in 1921. In 1961 the current major council in Utah, Girl Scouts of Utah, was founded by the merging of several smaller councils. The organization, serving over 6,000 girls and 2,500 adult volunteers throughout the state, strives to prepare girls for a lifetime of leadership, success, and adventure. Lisa has been with GSU for nearly 30 years, after graduating from Weber State University with a bachelor’s degree in social work. She began her tenure with Girl Scouts of Utah as Outdoor Program Specialist which she says was a chance to combine her education and her love of the outdoors. It also gave Lisa the opportunity to mentor young women in the same way that she had been mentored during summer camp in her youth. Prior to her recent appointment as CEO, Lisa served as Chief Operations Officer as well as Interim CEO. According to the Girl Scouts of Utah website, she “has provided oversight and leadership in the areas of program, membership, volunteer support, information technology, finance, property, outdoor program, and product sales.” On the national organization level, “she was appointed by the Girl Scouts of the USA to serve on the safety activity task group, property and outdoor conference committee, and was a host council lead for the 2014 GSUSA National Convention in Salt Lake City.” Lisa said that as a social work student at Weber State, she established the foundation on which she has built an ability to show vulnerability and engage in servant leadership—a leadership philosophy in which the main goal of the leader is to serve the organization and its people.
