On May 1, 2012, Stephanie Foote, became the President and CEO of Girl Scouts of Colorado (GSCO). Previously from 2007 to 2012, she served as Girl Scouts of Colorado’s Chair of the Board of Directors during the challenging aftermath of a national realignment of Girl Scout councils.

Stephanie Foote’s government and business background and connections have contributed to the organization’s rise to a top-performing Girl Scout council in the nation. Under her leadership, Girl Scouts of Colorado has invested in technology, downsized office space to more efficiently use resources, elevated programming for older Girl Scouts, is seeing an end to the trend of declining membership and is in the best fiscal shape the organization has seen since the 2007 realignment.

She is responsible for oversight of $28 million in assets, including several camps and lodges, leased office space across the state and a retail shop. In partnership with her executive leadership team, she manages an annual operating budget of more than $12 million and statewide staff of more than 100 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees who support 23,000 girls and 10,000 volunteers in 56 counties in Colorado.
