STATEWIDE – Girl Scouts of Maine (GSME) is pleased to announce KeyBank as the premiere sponsor of their upcoming annual Transforming Leadership Conference on November 4, at the University of Maine in Orono.
This 15th annual GSME event is an opportunity for Girl Scout members and non-members to come together, broaden connections, gain leadership skills, and engage in personal development through hands-on 60-miniute workshops led by experts. Topics of these workshops include STEM, financial literacy, self-care, global issues, leadership styles, and so much more.
“Today’s students are tomorrow’s business and community leaders, and KeyBank believes in supporting programs that help students grow to become successful, contributing community members,” says KeyBank Business Banking Relationship Manager Joseph McLean, who works closely with Girl Scouts of Maine. “The ability to make sound financial decisions is a skill that all young people need, and we are proud to help bring that education to conference attendees through our sponsorship”.
KeyBank’s Key@Work Relationship Manager Sarah Brooks will be leading two workshops during the event, “Facilitating Financial Literacy” and “Money Explorers & Budget Builders.” During both workshops, adult and youth attendees will have the opportunity to build their financial understanding and money management skills.
“We are so grateful to KeyBank for their unwavering support of the Transforming Leadership Conference, and their particular commitment to furthering knowledge of financial literacy, one of the most important facets of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience,” says Elizabeth Helton, GSME Highest Awards and Teen Experience Program Specialist.

We Are Girl Scouts of Maine
Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs across the state of Maine and beyond, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them. To join us, volunteer, reconnect, or donate, visit girlscoutsofmaine.org. For the latest updates, follow us on Facebook @GirlScoutsofMaine and Instagram @girlscoutsofmaine.
