Cathy Ferguson, Ed. D., has been appointed CEO of the Girl Scouts of Central California South.
This council is part of the national Girl Scouts reorganization plan, realigning 312 Girl Scout councils down to 109 nationwide. Girl Scouts of Central California South will merge Girl Scouts Golden Valley Council, headquartered in Fresno, and a portion of Joshua Tree Council, headquartered in Bakersfield, as part of the realignment process effective October 1, 2008.
Dr. Ferguson began her service on August 1, 2008 and is operating out of the corporate office located in the city of Fresno, with a regional office located in Bakersfield.
Cathy Ferguson has served as a University Professor and has an extensive background in education administration and teacher preparation. Upon completion of over 20 years in the university system (College of Great Falls, Great Falls, Montana and California State University, Long Beach), Dr. Ferguson left traditional education to work in several non-profit settings including Executive Director of Girls Incorporated of Delaware, Chief Resource Development Officer of the Red Cross of the Delmarva Peninsula, National Chief Marketing Officer of the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), Director of Development for Disney GOALS, and Director of Sports Medicine at Anaheim Memorial Hospital. Along with her educational background, Dr. Ferguson is a past Olympic Gold medalist in swimming and has coached swimming at all levels including the Olympic level. Her passion is to help girls discover and realize their full potential in order to become productive and valued citizens to their communities.
“I look forward to enhancing the already outstanding work that both merging councils have accomplished. Bringing the talents of strong volunteers and staff together will only solidify that programs will be there in the future for all girls in our jurisdiction. I look forward to serving the girls, the volunteers and the staff of this great council. Together we can help girls discover and realize their full potential, and watch them become productive citizens of our communities,” said Dr. Ferguson.

Council volunteers and staff remain fully committed to providing relevant and quality program opportunities for girls, and look forward to bringing the strengths of the Girl Scouts Golden Valley Council and Girl Scouts Joshua Tree Council together as Girl Scouts of Central California South.
