NEW YORK (Sept. 17, 2025) — Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) announced the appointment of Clay Dunn as chief communications and corporate affairs officer. With more than 15 years of experience leading mission-driven initiatives, Dunn will steward Girl Scouts’ legacy by guiding the organization’s communications strategy, advising on public affairs and overseeing the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace Museum and GSUSA’s cultural assets and archives.
As founding chief executive officer of VOW for Girls, Dunn established a globally recognized brand that advocates for the choices and futures of girls globally. Previously, as chief communications officer of Share Our Strength, he designed and executed the comprehensive communications and brand strategy that transformed their No Kid Hungry campaign from a concept into a national movement.
“I am thrilled to welcome Clay Dunn to the Girl Scout family and the organization’s leadership team,” said GSUSA CEO Bonnie Barczykowski. “Clay’s youth-focused and purpose-driven experience will serve the organization well as we continue delivering on our mission and ensuring today’s girls are life ready—for today and tomorrow.”
“I am overjoyed to take on the role of chief communications and corporate affairs officer at Girl Scouts of the USA,” said Dunn. “The organization’s long history of building girls of courage, confidence and character through programming that helps them discover their strengths, try new things and grow into the leaders their communities need deeply aligns with my passions. I look forward to amplifying Girl Scouts’ voices, strengthening connections with communities and driving meaningful change that supports girls.”
