Cynthia H. Breunig
Chief Executive Officer and
President
Cynthia became President and CEO of the Girl
Scouts of San Gorgonio Council in 2011. She was a 10-year Mariner
Scout and is a Lifetime Member of Girl Scouts. Cynthia credits Girl
Scouts with establishing her leadership and business skills through
the cookie program; her passion for the arts, which began with Girl
Scout field trips to museums; and her Girl Scout community service
work with high-poverty children for opening her heart and mind to the
needs of children -- our most vulnerable citizens. Under Cynthia’s
leadership, the council increased membership by over 29%; is first in
the nation in Girl Scout cookie boxes per girl sold; and has taken the
lead nationally in reaching out to girls from low-income families and
Hispanic communities. With support of the Board of Directors, GSSGC
purchased Camp Skyland Ranch in late 2016. Cynthia has noted, “I
could see all of the possibilities of the Skyland Ranch property and
am proud that we elected to purchase it and become its stewards for
generations to come.” Before joining GSSGC, Cynthia served for 13
years as President and CEO of Inner-City Arts in the heart of Los
Angeles’ Skid Row, and enjoyed a 25-year career in museum management,
opening what is today the Autry National Center in 1988. Cynthia
holds advanced degrees in Museum Studies and Education Administration,
and attended Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business
Executive Education Program and the international Getty Leadership Institute.
