The Capital Area Girls on the Run Board of Directors is very pleased to announce the appointment of Gillian Byerly as the organization’s new Council Director. Having worked at the YWCA of Greater Harrisburg for the past 7 years, Gilly has experience in nonprofit fundraising, event planning and youth empowerment and development. She has also been a volunteer and Board Member for the Capital Area Girls on the Run.
Gilly has great passion for the Girls on the Run mission, which is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident. Girls on the Run founder Molly Barker says “The only requirement to having a dream, is believing in it.” In Gilly’s own words: “Leading an organization that offers young girls the opportunity to reveal their greatness; that recognizes the importance of strong, independent minded young women who are fearless in their pursuit to reach their potential and unhindered by the distorted and manipulated images of an increasingly narrow view of beauty, is my dream. It is what I believe in.”
And the Capital Area Girls on the Run Board and family believes in you, Gilly!
