Following a six-month national search and a unanimous vote of the Board, Denise Burgess has been named to lead the council as the Chief Executive Officer for Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts.
Denise is an experienced leader with strategic planning, organizational
development, operations, and communications expertise. She also is a
strong resource manager who builds collaborative stakeholder
relationships and mobilizes groups to action. I am confident you will be
as impressed with her credentials and vision for the council as the
board and search committee.
Denise
most recently served as a resident country director for The Carter
Center, the not-for-profit organization founded by former U.S. President
Jimmy Carter. In this role, she led a field operation focused on
monitoring elections, human rights, and mining governance in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo. Earlier in her career, she founded an
international strategic planning, communications, and marketing
consultancy. She appeared as a CNN correspondent from 2002 to 2005,
managing the Middle East and Asia news desk during the Iraq invasion,
then delivering live reports from Baghdad during the post-conflict
phase. In this role, she was nominated for "Best Feature" by the
National Association of Black Journalists. For 16 years earlier in her
career, she served as an American diplomat working for the U.S.
Department of State - Foreign Service.
