Mary Mitchell
Co-CEO
Girl Scouts—Arizona Cactus-Pine Council
Background: Mary Mitchell is Co-CEO of Girl Scouts—Arizona Cactus-Pine Council (GSACPC) and co-lead for the organization’s work on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Racial Justice. Mitchell is a 2017 Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust Fellow. She is also a member of International Women’s Forum-AZ; a member of the AZ Community Foundation, African American Women’s Giving and Empowerment Circle; and a graduate of Valley Leadership, Class 26.
Key to success: “I value the power of honest and authentic conversation and have an unquenchable thirst for collective dialogue spaces that can bear the weight of what such dialogue and connection can mean for discerning the future of communities and organizations.”
Source of pride: “I am most proud of my service as Co-CEO of the council. It has been a great joy to utilize my talents, skills and expertise, on behalf of our mission “To help build girls of courage, confidence, and character.” Further, my service in this role speaks to my sincere belief that girls in our state deserve the very best of what we have to offer, as well as an opportunity to equitable access to programs, tools, and resources, to support their growth as unique individuals and to be able to source their own leadership, in partnership with caring adults and their community.”
Surprising fact: “Along with being a lover of trains and pigs, I am a stargazer and have a great love for exploring the night sky with telescopes and online apps. I picked up the love of stargazing and wanting to understand the effects of the various stages of the moon, for planting and growth of harvesting of gardens, from my grandparents.”
