Carmen Hopkins, Girl Scouts, Hornets’ Nest Council
(interview with council CEO) http://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/stories/2010/08/09/focus16.html From 2010: The weakened real estate and lending climate caused us to adjust our property plans. When the economic downturn put the commercial lending market on ice, we were mid-stride in repositioning and modernizing our outdoor educational centers. The Council had acquired an ideal 700-acre property that would replace two older and smaller sites into a more efficient and modernized camp. Because of the stagnant real estate market, we adjusted our long-range strategic plans; delayed some development at the new site; extended the time frame for retaining the two existing camps; and refinanced the new property in an almost frozen lending market.

"When you're dealing with Girl Scout camps, it's very emotional. Many of our members grew up going to camp there and now have children camping there. But they know this is what's right for the girls." |
