After four FUN years as the Area 6 Venturing Advisor, it's time for some fresh ideas and new energy, and that is exactly what we will have in Anne Zimmer's leadership! We have a great crew of officers on the VOA and three dedicated Associate Advisors to help Anne move the VOA into 2016 and beyond. When I was approached for this role 4 years ago it was April (way past time for elections) and we had ONE interested youth and no Associate Advisors! No problem, right? With help from Scout Execs around the Area, I was able to identify some very able adult volunteers to serve as Associate Advisors and to help me find energetic young adults to recruit as Area VOA officers. Since then I've had the pleasure of working with four phenomenal Area 6 Presidents (Dagny Gargas, Mandi Forsythe, Jennifer Bullock, and Amber Richter) and many others in the VP positions in Area 6. We've survived CRVOO conference weekends, planned some fabulous Area events, and had a great time doing it all! It's been a wonderful cap to my 15 years as a BSA volunteer and I thank all of you for making it such a pleasure! Carla Gargas Area 6 Venturing Advisor Until 12/31/15

Leaving Area 6 In Good Hands!
After four FUN years as the Area 6 Venturing Advisor, it's time for some fresh ideas
and new energy, and that is exactly what we will have in Anne Zimmer's leadership!
We have a great crew of officers on the VOA and three dedicated Associate Advisors to help
Anne move the VOA into 2016 and beyond.
When I was approached for this role 4 years ago it was April (way past time for elections) and
we had ONE interested youth and no Associate Advisors! No problem, right?
With help from Scout Execs around the Area, I was able to identify some very able adult volunteers to serve as
Associate Advisors and to help me find energetic young adults to recruit as Area VOA officers. Since then I've had the
pleasure of working with four phenomenal Area 6 Presidents (Dagny Gargas, Mandi Forsythe, Jennifer Bullock, and
Amber Richter) and many others in the VP positions in Area 6. We've survived CRVOO conference weekends,
planned some fabulous Area events, and had a great time doing it all! It's been a wonderful cap to my 15 years as a
BSA volunteer and I thank all of you for making it such a pleasure!
