| FORM 990, PART III | PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS 2016-2017 GIRL SCOUTS OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, INC. (GSEP), OPERATES AS AN INDEPENDENT, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION CHARTERED BY GIRL SCOUTS OF THE USA (GSUSA) TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR GIRLS IN NINE PENNSYLVANIA COUNTIES: BERKS, BUCKS, CARBON, CHESTER, DELAWARE, LEHIGH, MONTGOMERY, NORTHAMPTON, AND PHILADELPHIA. GSEP'S VISION IS TO BE KNOWN AS THE PREMIER LEADERSHIP ORGANIZATION FOR GIRLS, DRIVEN BY AN ENGAGED COMMUNITY OF VOLUNTEERS, MEMBERS, ALUMNAE, PARTNERS, AND STAFF, AND SUPPORTED BY AN ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE OF SERVICE, LEARNING, AND GROWTH. IN FISCAL YEAR 2017 (OCTOBER 1, 2016-SEPTEMBER 30, 2017), GSEP CONTINUED TO PROVIDE THE GIRL SCOUTS LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE (GSLE) TO CLOSE TO 40,000 GIRLS, WITH THE HELP OF MORE THAN 15,000 ADULT MEMBERS. DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, GSEP EXPERIENCED A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO ITS BUSINESS MODEL IN THE FORM OF THE CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVE (CEI). CEI IS AN INITIATIVE SPEARHEADED BY GSUSA THAT SEEKS TO ALIGN GIRL SCOUTS COUNCILS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND IMPROVE THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE FOR BOTH FAMILIES AND VOLUNTEERS WITH THE GOAL OF MAKING IT EASIER FOR GIRLS TO GET INVOLVED WITH GIRL SCOUTS. THIS NEW WAY OF WORK FOCUSES ON ALIGNING PEOPLE, PROCESSES AND SYSTEMS TO EFFECTIVELY ENSURE BOTH RECRUITMENT AND SERVICE/RETENTION FUNCTIONS ARE PROVIDING A QUALITY, CUSTOMER-CENTRIC AND CONSISTENT EXPERIENCE RESULTING IN GIRL AND VOLUNTEER MEMBERSHIP GROWTH AND SATISFACTION. CEI CONSISTS OF THREE ONLINE TOOLS: A REFRESHED AND STANDARDIZED WEBSITE THAT IS MORE USER-FRIENDLY AND CONSISTENT WITH OTHER GIRL SCOUT COUNCILS; A NEW MEMBERSHIP REGISTRATION SYSTEM BUILT ON THE SALESFORCE PLATFORM THAT STREAMLINES THE REGISTRATION PROCESS, ALLOWS FAMILIES TO FIND AND SIGN UP FOR AN AVAILABLE TROOP OF THEIR CHOICE, AND PROVIDES A CUSTOMER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR STAFF TO TRACK AND RESPOND TO MEMBER NEEDS; AND A GROUNDBREAKING DIGITAL VOLUNTEER TOOLKIT THAT ENABLES K-5 TROOP LEADERS TO ORGANIZE THEIR TROOP INFORMATION AND PLAN THEIR TROOP YEAR ON A DIGITAL DEVICE. THE TRANSITION TO CEI REQUIRED A REORGANIZATION OF STAFF AND EXTENSIVE TRAINING FOR BOTH EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS. GSEP CHOSE TO BE ONE OF THE LAST COUNCILS TO ADOPT CEI IN ORDER TO SPEND MORE TIME PREPARING AND LEARNING FROM THE COUNCILS THAT PRECEDED IT. AS A RESULT OF THIS DECISION, THE TRANSITION TO CEI WAS RELATIVELY SMOOTH WITH MORE THAN 99% OF DATA MIGRATING TO THE NEW DATABASE WITHOUT ERRORS, AND NO MAJOR IMPACT TO MEMBERSHIP NUMBERS - TWO CHALLENGES EXPERIENCED BY EARLY ADOPTER COUNCILS. THIS NARRATIVE DETAILS GSEP'S ACHIEVEMENTS FOR FY17 AS THEY RELATE TO MEASURES OUTLINED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, WHICH INCLUDE SEVEN GUIDING PRINCIPLES: LEADERSHIP, COMMUNITY, SERVICE, INCLUSION, RESPECT, INTEGRITY, AND INNOVATION. OUR MULTI-YEAR PLAN WAS INFORMED BY BOTH NATIONAL AND COUNCIL-SPECIFIC PRIORITIES AND ARTICULATES FIVE GOALS THAT ARE ORGANIZED BY TOPIC: OUR ORGANIZATION, COMMUNICATIONS, GIRL EXPERIENCE, VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE, AND FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY AND REVENUE ENHANCEMENT. 1) OUR ORGANIZATION: BUILD A LEARNING AND GROWING CULTURE THAT ENHANCES THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE GSEP STAFF AND LEADERSHIP. IN ADDITION TO TACKLING THE SWEEPING CEI CHANGE, GSEP ALSO SET OUT TO IMPROVE THE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND INVEST MORE IN STAFF DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING (SPECIFICALLY AROUND CHANGE MANAGEMENT, CROSS-TEAM COLLABORATION, AND COMMUNICATIONS). TO PROMOTE A CULTURE THAT IS INSPIRING, COHESIVE, AND SUPPORTIVE OF THE GIRL SCOUT MISSION, ALL STAFF MEETINGS BEGIN WITH THE SHARING OF "MISSION MOMENTS," SHORT SUCCESS STORIES ABOUT HOW STAFF HAVE CONNECTED WITH GIRLS OR VOLUNTEERS IN A MEANINGFUL WAY. SHARING MISSION MOMENTS IS QUICKLY BECOMING A COUNCIL NORM AND MANY STAFF AND VOLUNTEER-LED MEETINGS NOW BEGIN THIS WAY. ADDITIONALLY, STAFF WERE GIFTED WITH A "GUIDING PRINCIPLES" POSTER THAT SERVES AS A VISUAL REMINDER OF THE COUNCIL'S BIG PICTURE GOALS. FUN INCENTIVES, SUCH AS EXTRA DAYS OFF, AN EXPANDED JEANS POLICY, AND A SHORTENED SUMMER HOURS WERE ALSO IMPLEMENTED AS STAFF INCENTIVES.IN ORDER TO ALIGN NEW STAFF WITH ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND NORMS, ALL NEW HIRES NOW PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS WITH OTHER NEW EMPLOYEES FOR A THREE-DAY COMPREHENSIVE STAFF ONBOARDING TRAINING THAT WAS DEVELOPED BY HR IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS. CROSS-COUNCIL MEETING NORMS AND TELEPHONE AND EMAIL ETIQUETTE POLICIES WERE ALSO DEVELOPED AND PRESENTED TO ALL STAFF. STAFF MEMBERS WHO HAVE SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES ATTENDED MANAGER TRAINING AND ONGOING SUPPORTS TO HELP MANAGERS BUILD SKILLS AND LEAD THE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE THROUGH FEEDBACK, ENCOURAGEMENT/RECOGNITION, CONSISTENCY ACROSS DIRECT REPORTS, AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE CULTURE WERE IMPLEMENTED.TO MAKE ITS SERVICE CENTERS MORE WELCOMING, GIRL-FRIENDLY, AND INSPIRING, GSEP IS CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO CREATE SPACES THAT ARE MORE WELCOMING, GIRL-FRIENDLY, AND INSPIRING. THE SHELLY RIDGE SERVICE CENTER NOW FEATURES A REMODELED STORE THAT HAS BEEN MOVED INTO THE LOBBY ALONG WITH GIRL-FRIENDLY GRAPHICS AND A FUN FAUX CLIMBING WALL, AND PLANS ARE UNDERWAY TO SIMILARLY SPRUCE UP THE OTHER OFFICE LOCATIONS. BOARD LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT WAS AN EMERGING FOCUS WITH KEY NEW BOARD COMMITTEES FORMED THAT MAP TO GSEP'S FIVE STRATEGIC GOALS. A CONTINUED EMPHASIS WAS PUT ON BOARD RECRUITMENT INCORPORATING MULTIPLE LENSES OF EXPERTISE AND DIVERSITY. IN CELEBRATION OF GSEP'S 100TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2017 (TWO LEGACY COUNCILS, PHILADELPHIA AND LEHIGHTON, WERE THE 4TH AND 5TH GIRL SCOUTS COUNCILS CHARTERED IN THE COUNTRY IN 1917), A PARTY OPEN TO ALL MEMBERS, BOARD, AND STAFF WAS HELD FOLLOWING THE ANNUAL MEETING IN MAY. 2) COMMUNICATIONS: ADVANCE A CLEAR MESSAGE AND BUILD COMMUNITY AROUND GSEP PROGRAMS, EXPERIENCES, AND IMPACTS. CEI'S CASE MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONALITY HAS REVOLUTIONIZED MEMBER COMMUNICATIONS AT GSEP. NOW, EVERY INCOMING CALL, EMAIL, OR WEBSITE-GENERATED INQUIRY BECOMES A CASE THAT IS CREATED, VIEWED, AND RESOLVED (OR REFERRED TO A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT) BY A DEDICATED MEMBER SERVICES TEAM. EACH CASE IS LOGGED IN SALESFORCE TO CREATE A RECORD OF EVERY CUSTOMER INTERACTION, AND A DATABASE OF SOLUTIONS ENSURES THAT MEMBERS RECEIVE A CONSISTENT RESPONSE. URGENT COUNCIL-WIDE UPDATES ARE SHARED THROUGH "FRONTLINE ALERTS" SENT TO ALL STAFF VIA SALESFORCE. TO FURTHER IMPROVE CONSISTENCY, A CROSS-FUNCTIONAL GROUP LED THE WORK TO CREATE AN INTERNAL ORGANIZATION-WIDE CALENDAR THAT CAN BE ACCESSED BY ALL STAFF. THE CALENDAR IS REVIEWED AT BI-WEEKLY PRODUCTION MEETINGS, DURING WHICH TEAMS SHARE EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING AT COUNCIL PROPERTIES IN ORDER TO PLAN, PRIORITIZE, AND COLLABORATE AROUND IMPORTANT COUNCIL EVENTS. BY PUBLICIZING GIRL SCOUTS WHO HAVE EARNED THE GOLD, SILVER, AND BRONZE AWARDS (THE HIGHEST AWARDS IN GIRL SCOUTING) IN THE MEDIA AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA, GSEP PUTS GIRLS FRONT AND CENTER AND PROMOTES GIRL SCOUTS AS THE PREMIER LEADERSHIP PROGRAM FOR GIRLS. THIS YEAR, A GROUP OF OLDER GIRLS WERE INVITED TO SERVE AS MEDIA GIRLS. THESE ARE GIRL SCOUTS WITH AN INTEREST IN PR AND COMMUNICATIONS WHO HAVE RECEIVED MEDIA TRAINING TO TALK ABOUT THEIR GIRL SCOUT EXPERIENCE. GSEP POSITIONED ITS STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS AS GIRL EXPERTS THROUGH OP-EDS, INTERVIEWS, AND BY ARRANGING FOR SENIOR STAFF TO SPEAK AT LEADERSHIP CONFERENCES. GSEP CREATED A VIDEO AND HONORED THE "LUCKY 13," A GROUP OF LOCAL GIRL SCOUT ALUMNAE, ON THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR HISTORY-MAKING TRIP TO EUROPE AS THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL GIRL SCOUT TROOP, AND ALSO DEVELOPED A VIDEO TO MARK THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY AND TELL THE HISTORY OF THE COUNCIL. TO REACH DIVERSE COMMUNITIES, A PILOT PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED TO CONNECT WITH LARGE AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCHES. STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS MET WITH PHILADELPHIA COMMUNITY LEADERS AND VOLUNTEERS TO ESTABLISH THE FIRST GIRL SCOUT TROOP AT GREATER EXODUS BAPTIST CHURCH. AS PART OF THIS INITIATIVE, GSEP CREATED TAILORED MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS MATERIALS AND PROVIDED ON-SITE TRAINING FOR THE MULTI-GENERATIONAL VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE RUNNING THE TROOP. THIS MODEL CAN NOW BE REPLICATED AT OTHER PLACES OF WORSHIP, AND WILL SERVE AS A BASIS FOR A FOLLOW-UP INITIATIVE FOR OUTREACH INTO THE LATINO COMMUNITY. THE COMMUNICATIONS FOCUS GROUP, A SOUNDING BOARD OF KEY OPERATIONAL VOLUNTEERS, CONTINUED TO MEET WITH A FOCUS ON IDENTIFYING NEW ROTATING MEMBERS WHO CAN BRING FRESH IDEAS AND PERSPECTIVES. |
| FORM 990, PART III | 3) GIRL EXPERIENCE: POSITION GSEP AS THE PREMIER ORGANIZATION FOR GIRLS TO BUILD LEADERSHIP, CONFIDENCE, INDEPENDENCE, AND COMMUNITY. GSEP DEVELOPED AN ANNUAL TRADITIONAL TROOP SURVEY TO GAIN CRITICAL FEEDBACK FROM GIRLS AND LEADERS. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO IDENTIFIED ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN ALL GSEP GIRL EXPERIENCE SURVEYS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SPARK PROGRAMS, SUMMER CAMP PROGRAMS, FUNDED INITIATIVES, NUTS ABOUT READING AND COOKIE POST-SALES. THESE QUESTIONS WILL PROVIDE CONSISTENT AND VALUABLE INFORMATION, ALLOWING GSEP TO GAUGE THE WAYS GIRLS PARTICIPATE, HOW THEY HEAR ABOUT GIRL SCOUTS, WHAT THEY LEARNED FROM THE EXPERIENCE, AND WHAT THEY BELIEVED THEY HAVE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE EXPERIENCE. GSEP LAUNCHED A GIRL-LED PROGRAM STEERING COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF GIRL SCOUTS IN HIGH SCHOOL. THE COMMITTEE PROVIDES FEEDBACK AND IDEAS FOR VARIOUS COUNCIL PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS INCLUDING SPARK MAGAZINE, NEW AND DIVERSE PROGRAMS FOR OLDER GIRLS, AND THE COOKIE PROGRAM. IN NOVEMBER, A MEETING WITH GSUSA WAS SCHEDULED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE GIRL SCOUTS RESEARCH INSTITUTE'S (GSRI) WORK AROUND FIVE NEW NATIONAL OUTCOMES, AS WELL AS HOW GSUSA IS COLLECTING AND USING NATIONAL DATA. RETAINING AND GROWING GIRL MEMBERSHIP REMAINED A PRIORITY, AND WHILE GSEP PLANNED FOR A SLIGHT DECREASE IN GIRL MEMBERSHIP DUE TO THE TRANSITION TO CEI, GSEP SAW A SLIGHT INCREASE IN GIRL MEMBERSHIP. FOR A QUICK SNAPSHOT OF FY17 NUMBERS, GSEP ENGAGED MORE THAN 12,345 GIRLS IN GSLE PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON THE FOLLOWING PRIORITY AREAS: ADVENTURE & WATER, HEALTH & WELLNESS, GSLE, ENVIRONMENT, ARTS & CULTURE, AND STEM. MORE THAN 4,000 GIRLS ATTENDED ONE OF FOUR RESIDENT CAMPS OR THREE-DAY CAMPS IN SUMMER 2017. GIRLS EARNING THEIR HIGHEST AWARDS REMAINED IMPRESSIVELY HIGH: 1,040 GIRLS AGES 9-11 EARNED THEIR BRONZE AWARD, 234 GIRLS AGES 12-14 EARNED THEIR SILVER AWARD, AND 66 GIRLS AGES 14-18 EARNED THEIR GOLD AWARD. GIRLS PARTICIPATING IN THE PRODUCT PROGRAM DELIVERED THE MOST SUCCESSFUL COOKIE SALE IN GSEP HISTORY, INCREASING SALES BY 9%, AND THE PER GIRL AVERAGE FROM 163 BOXES TO 183 BOXES. TO MARK THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE COUNCIL AND ALSO THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GIRL SCOUT COOKIE PROGRAM, GSEP OFFERED THEMED EVENTS FOR GIRLS AND DEVELOPED A SELECTION OF EXCLUSIVE COMMEMORATIVE ITEMS FOR GIRLS TO BUY OR EARN. 4) VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE: POSITION GSEP AS A REWARDING AND SOUGHT-AFTER VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE. IN 2017, GSEP CREATED A STRUCTURE TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE AND STREAMLINE THE VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE BY CONDUCTING TWO STAFF REALIGNMENTS, AND BY PARTICIPATING IN PEER TO PEER TRAININGS ORGANIZED BY GSUSA TO PREPARE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CEI. THROUGH THESE EFFORTS, A NEW TEAM WAS CREATED CALLED "VOLUNTEER SUPPORT," WITH "VOLUNTEER SUPPORT SPECIALISTS" WHO SERVE AS THE RELATIONSHIP MANAGERS FOR ALL GSEP SERVICE UNIT MANAGERS AND LEADERSHIP TEAMS, AND FOCUS ON RETENTION. ADDITIONALLY, THE RECRUITMENT AND PLACEMENT TEAMS WERE GEOGRAPHICALLY MAPPED TO PROVIDE SECOND AND THIRD LEVELS OF SUPPORT IN EVERY COMMUNITY TO ENCOURAGE MEMBERSHIP GROWTH. THE NEW GSEP WEBSITE, DESIGNED TO STANDARDIZE THE VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE AND ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND RESOURCES NOW TIES IN DIRECTLY TO NATIONAL RESOURCES AND SYSTEMS, E.G., SALESFORCE AND THE VOLUNTEER TOOLKIT. VOLUNTEERS CAN NOW PLAN AND CUSTOMIZE THEIR TROOP YEAR THROUGH THE VOLUNTEER TOOLKIT, WHICH PROVIDES PROGRAMMATIC IDEAS AND CHOICES FOR GRADES K-5. BASIC VOLUNTEER TRAININGS ARE NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE, VOLUNTEER ESSENTIALS IS ONLINE, AND SUPPLEMENTARY AND SPECIALIZED TRAININGS CONTINUE TO BE PROVIDED IN-PERSON AND THROUGH OUR NEW WEBINAR PLATFORM. ADDITIONALLY, GSEP FOCUSED ON ENSURING THAT VOLUNTEERS AND MEMBERS HAVE ACCESS TO RETAIL OPPORTUNITIES AT TIMES CONVENIENT TO THEM. IN BERKS COUNTY, A MOBILE RETAIL PILOT WAS IMPLEMENTED, ALL GSEP STORES ARE OPEN LATE ONE NIGHT PER WEEK, AND PLANNED WEEKEND HOURS ARE IMPLEMENTED DURING BUSY MONTHS. THE FINAL CRITICAL CHANGE THAT POSITIVELY IMPACTS GENERAL VOLUNTEER ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND RESOURCES, WAS THE CREATION OF THE "MEMBER SERVICES" DEPARTMENT. THIS TEAM ANSWERS 80% OF PHONE, EMAIL, AND OTHER ONLINE INQUIRIES TO OUR MEMBERS, WITH INCREASED EFFICIENCY OVER TIME USING A SOLUTIONS CATALOG ON SALESFORCE, WHICH IS POPULATED BY ALL GSEP DEPARTMENTS. SEVERAL VOLUNTEER FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED BEFORE IMPLEMENTING NEW PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES TO ENSURE END USERS' EXPECTATIONS AND NEEDS WERE INCORPORATED, A BEST PRACTICE THAT WILL BE CONTINUED. ADDITIONALLY, A NETWORK IS BEING FORMED FOR VOLUNTEERS TO SHARE WITH EACH OTHER AND NETWORK OUTSIDE OF GSEP SPONSORED MEETINGS AND EVENTS. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE VOLUNTEER-LED HISTORY COMMITTEE MET WEEKLY TO SORT, IDENTIFY, ORGANIZE, AND COMBINE THE ARTIFACTS AND RECORDS FROM THE ARCHIVES OF SEVERAL LEGACY COUNCILS IN PREPARATION FOR A NEW GIRL SCOUT HISTORY MUSEUM AT THE VALLEY FORGE SERVICE CENTER. 5) FINANCIAL STABILITY AND REVENUE ENHANCEMENT: OPTIMIZE REVENUE SOURCES AND USES. EXPANDING AND DIVERSIFYING GSEP'S FUNDING BASE, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON INCREASING CONTRIBUTED REVENUE, CONTINUED TO BE A PRIORITY INTO FY17. GSEP ENGAGED IN RESEARCH AND PLANNING TO CONDUCT AN ANALYSIS OF ALL REVENUE AND EXPENSES TO ENSURE THE BUDGET, BUSINESS MODEL, AND STAFF STRUCTURE WERE ALIGNED WITH THE MISSION AND GSEP PRIORITIES. THE ORGANIZATION EXPLORED NEW EARNED INCOME IDEAS, NEW MODELS AND APPROACHES FOR PRODUCT SALES, ENHANCED INSTITUTIONAL AND INDIVIDUAL DONOR DEVELOPMENT, AND INCREASED COMMUNICATION ABOUT GSEP'S FINANCIAL PLAN AND FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE GREATER GSEP COMMUNITY. THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF GSEP PROVIDED A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO SELL COMMEMORATIVE RETAIL ITEMS AND TO FUNDRAISE AROUND THIS HISTORIC MOMENT. GSEP PRODUCED A SIGNIFICANT OPERATING SURPLUS FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR, MEETING REVENUE GOALS, AND WITH TIGHT CONTROLS OVER EXPENSES. THE COOKIE PROGRAM INCREASED ITS REVENUE BY AN UNPRECEDENTED 9% YEAR OVER YEAR, AND GIRL EXPERIENCE SAW INCREASED CAMP AND PROGRAM REGISTRATIONS. CONTRIBUTED REVENUE CAME CLOSE TO ITS INCREASED REVENUE GOAL IN FY17, AND CAMPERSHIP CONTRIBUTIONS NEARLY DOUBLED. ADDITIONALLY, GSEP COMPLETED ITS OUTDOOR PROGRAM VISION WITH THE FINANCIAL CLOSE OF THE LAST OF THREE CAMPS UP FOR SALE, AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ENDING ON TIME AND ON BUDGET. |
