Suzy Winters, Board Chair
Program Developer, Central Piedmont Community College
As a woman, a mother of women, and a grandmother of girls, I want nothing less than a world full of women who are strong and use their strength to make this world better. GOTR prepares girls for this vital role. When even one girl becomes strong, we all become stronger.

Andy Dinkin, Board Vice-Chair
Vice President of Business Development, Levine Properties
Growing up with a brother and having a life that involved athletics, I was never exposed to the issues facing girls and women. When I had a daughter, my outlook expanded and I saw GOTR as a vehicle to improve the life of my little girl and the lives of young women everywhere.

Robert Bales
SVP, Operations/Treasurer, Quaero Corporation
I was attracted to the passion for the cause that was demonstrated by the individuals associated with GOTR. Additionally as a father of 2 daughters, I appreciated the mission and methods of the organization to provide a self enrichment program to young girls.

Confidence and empowerment are things that many of us take for granted. It comes as easy as tying your shoes to many. But for those young girls who don't have this, it is truly a life changing experience to witness it at a GOTR 5K. This joy and happiness spills over into the hearts of not only the girls, but their moms, dads, siblings, and friends. I joined the Board of GOTR to try and make a difference. But it is the girls, staff, and volunteers that have made a difference in my life every day.

Amy Combs
Psychologist and Director, Charlotte Center for Balanced Living
I became involved in GOTR to be a part of an organization that gives back to the community by touching the lives of individual girls and their families. As a psychologist, I help women and girls after something has gone off course in their lives. In working with GOTR, I am grateful to have the opportunity to simultaneously be involved with an organization that helps girls develop the resources to keep from going off course in the first place which is the ultimate goal!

GOTR reinforces the message for girls that they are fine just as they are and that they matter! I wish there was a program like this when I was 10, because I'm constantly working on undoing the effects of my "girl box." Thanks Molly for your courage!

Dana Luciani
Senior Vice President/ Channel Integration, Bank of America
I joined GOTR board because I've personally experienced being in the "girl box" and how being in this position can play itself out. I wanted to be a part of helping grow an organization that is helping girls stay out of the girl box and pave their own path. Through this journey I have learned more about myself and ways to help my daughter pave her own path.

Having met Molly and read both of her books I continue to be inspired by her personal stories and the way in which she has channeled her energy to positively impact the lives of young ladies.  Each of us faces challenges throughout our lives and we must find strength and wisdom to help steer ourselves in the right direction.  Girls on the Run is that strength and wisdom for thousands of girls during some of the most difficult years of growing up.  It is an honor to be a part of such an important organization.

In my work life as a corporate officer, I have had the privilege of being responsible for making decisions about corporate giving and community involvement.With GOTR I can actually touch the lives of little girls in a personal way that means more to me than giving away corporate funds.Gandhi said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world."As I grow older, and think about how women of my generation have struggled in the workplace, I know the message of GOTR is more critical than it has ever been.My hope is to provide young girls the tools to stand tall, speak up and proudly take their places as leaders, here in the U.S. and in many other countries.

Let's face it - girls rock!  Girls can do anything, go anywhere, be anyone they want to be - the only problem is that some girls don't know that they possess this amazing ability.  I love Girls on the Run for the simple fact that its mission is make sure every girl knows she's strong, beautiful and amazing and, most importantly, that she can do anything, go anywhere and be anyone she wants to be - after all, we girls hold up this world!  I'm so thrilled and honored to play a small part in making sure that each and every girl on the planet knows that she totally rocks!
