Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia (GSHG) has announced that Krystal Crawford is their new Chief Executive Officer, effective Thursday, May 29. Crawford succeeds longtime CEO Sue Else, who recently retired after 11 years of dedicated service.
A release from the GSHG says Crawford has over 26 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, youth development, and community engagement. She most recently served as Chief Operating Officer of YMCA Coastal Georgia, overseeing operations of 11 branches across eight counties.
Prior to her work with YMCA, Crawford held several leadership positions with U.S. Army Family Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR), where she served military families, soldiers, and civilians.
“We are excited to welcome Krystal to Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia,” said Jeff Wilson, Chair of the GSHG Board of Directors. “I’m confident she’ll build on the amazing work we are already doing and help us keep making a real difference for every Girl Scout.” As CEO, Crawford will oversee council operations across 125 counties—122 in Georgia, two in South Carolina, and one in Alabama—serving more than 7,000 girls and nearly 4,000 adult members.
Crawford said in the release, “I am honored to step in this role and join a movement that’s been building strong girls for more than a century. I can’t wait to work alongside our incredible volunteers, staff, families, and community partners to create even more space where every girl feels safe, seen, and inspired to grow into her full potential.”
